notes:
|
The center and right plants may be species of flax of the yellow and white flowered variety that spread from the old world and branched off. It has not been possible to identify the plant on the left.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.
