notes:
Blitum spica rubra is probably Amaranthus spinosus, a plant native to tropical America that is eaten like spinach. Feuillée states that it came from the gardens of Peru. It has not been possible to identify Chala origani folio, but Feuillée collected the specimen in Chile. Feuillée, a member of the order of Minims, worked with Jacques Cassini as a hydrographer and later made trips using his knowledge of currents, astronomy, and botany to the Caribbean, Peru, and Chile. Detached copy from v. 2 and [3] of the author's Journal des observations physiques, mathematiques et botaniques, Paris, 1714-1725. Imprint for this part taken from the title page of vol. [3] of the author's Journal des observations physiques, mathematiques et botaniques. Paris, 1725
