Ferdinand Bauer and Norfolk Island. 



The following: brief notes concerning Ferdinand Bauer are 

 taken from Lhotsky's paper. Bauer not only depicted the plants 

 of Norfolk Island in a masterly manner, but he collected many 

 plants, and his herbarium, with his drawings, enabled Endlicher 

 to write his Prodromus. One extinct plant [Strehlorrhiza) is now 

 alone known from Bauer's drawings. I would that replicas of 

 Bauer's drawings could, in the interests of science, be made for 

 Australia. Australian botanists could thus be enabled to clear
