e notice of Plukenet in Trimen and Dyer’ s Flora of 
press-mark 968. f. 2 is his copy of the first edition, that of 1 1670. 
he manuscript notes contain, as we shall see, strong internal 
evidence of this; one of them is signed “ L. P.,” and t the volume

manuscript note-books.

briefest notes. ‘I'he order is that of the pages of Ray’s Catalogus
