AN ACCOUNT OF SEVERAL PLANTS COLLECTED IN BRAZIL, NEW HOLLAND, TIMOR, AND
NEW GUINEA, REFERRING TO THE FIGURES ENGRAVEN ON THE COPPER PLATES.

Table 1 Figure 1. Cotton-flower from Bahia in Brazil. The flower consists
of a great many filaments, almost as small as hairs, betwixt three and
four inches long, of a murrey-colour; on the top of them stand small
ash-coloured apices. The pedicule of the flower is enclosed at the bottom
with 5 narrow stiff leaves, about 6 inches long. There is one of this
genus in Mr. Ray's Supplement, which agrees exactly with this in every
respect, only that is twice larger at the least. It was sent from Surinam
by the name of momoo.

Table 1 Figure 2. Jasminum Brasilanum luteum, mali limoniae folio
nervoso, petalis crassis.

Table 1 Figure 3. Crista Pavonis Brasiliana Bardanae foliis. The leaves
are very tender and like the top leaves of Bardana major, both as to
shape and texture: in the figure they are represented too stiff and too
much serrated.

Table 1 Figure 4. Filix Brasiliana Osmundae minori serrato folio. This
fern is of that kind which bears its seed vessels in lines on the edge of
the leaves.

Table 2 Figure 1. Rapuntium Novae Hollandiae, flore magno coccineo. The
perianthium composed of five long-pointed parts, the form of the seed
vessel and the smallness of the seeds, together with the irregular shape
