notes:
Image title taken from pages 217, 261, 279, 335, and 369. Figure 1 may be Rhexia acisanthera. Figure 2 may be Stemodia maritima, a plant native to Jamaica and found along the seashore. Figure 3 is probably Zygia latifolia or horsewood or hoopwood, because its hard wood was used to make hoops. Omphalea is a genus of tropical shrubs or trees comprising 15 species; 12 are native to the Americas. Vimen means twig or vine. Browne notes only that this plant was a climber.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. notes Image title taken from pages 217, 261, 279, 335, and 369. Figure 1 may be Rhexia acisanthera.
