notes:
Ranunculus palustris may be Ranunculus muricatus, a species native to Chile. Feuillée's specimen was collected in northwestern Argentina. Herba purgationis, which Feuillée says was used by the natives to cure venereal diseases, may be a member of the genus Boerhavia or the genus Commicarpus.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.
