notes:
|
[left] Feuillée gathered this specimen in Chile. [center] Madi is probably Madia sativa or Chile tarweed. Feuillée notes that its seeds produce an oil that can be a substitute for olive oil. [right] Lysimachia buxifolia may be Lysimachia sertulata or Chilean melilukul.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.
