COUNT 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
of the flower and thinness of the leaves, argue this plant to be a
Rapuntium.

Table 2 Figure 2. Fucus foliis capillaceis brevissimis, vesiculis minimis
donatis. This elegant fucus is of the Erica Marina or Sargazo kind, but
has much finer parts than that. It was collected on this coast of New
Holland.

Table 2 Figure 3. Ricinoides Novae Hollandiae anguloso crasso folio. This
plant is shrubby, has thick woolly leaves, especially on the underside.
Its fruit is tricoccous, hoary on the outside with a calix divided into 5
parts. It comes near Ricini fructu parvo frucosa Curassavica, folio
Phylli, P.B. pr.

Table 2 Figure 4. Solanum spinosum Novae Hollandiae Phylli foliis
subrotundis. This new Solanum bears a bluish flower like the others of
the same tribe; the leaves are of a whitish colour, thick and woolly on
both sides, scarce an inch long and near as broad. The thorns are very
sharp and thick set, of a deep orange colour, especially towards the
points.

Table 3 Figure 1. Scabiosa (forte) Novae Hollandiae, statices foliis
subtus argenteis. The flower stands on a foot-stalk 4
