notes:
|
It has not been possible to identify these plants, but Gentianoides is probably a member of the Gentianaceae family, the oldest members of which are found in Latin America. This specimen was found in Argentina. The specimen of Eupatorioides was found in Chile and was used as a yellow dye.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.
