material in the Museum, which includes specimens from Banks and fruits from 
Prince of Wales’s Island, the latter collected and described by Brown and beautifully 
figured by Ferdinand Bauer.

seen by Bentham, who enters them as from Brown, who did not collect the 
plant. Brown drew up a description from Banks’s specimens.
