notes:
Psychotrophum P. Browne is now synonymous with Psychotria L. and is a shrub perhaps related to wild coffee. Metopium may be Metopium toxiferum (L.) Krug & Urb. or poisonwood tree, a tree that produces a sap that causes rashes. Text states that it has many medicinal purposes, but it is now considered not to be beneficial. Image title taken from pages 160 and 177.In the plates the letter (a) indicates the empalement or cup; (b) the flower; (c) the filaments with their antherae; (d) the style and stigma; and (e), (f), and (g) the germen, fruit and seeds.Browne was an Irish medical doctor who settled in Jamaica in 1746. There he collected 1200 species of plants, 400 more than Sloane. He retired to Ireland in 1771.
