SAPIUM IN THE COLLECTIONS OF RUIZ AND PAVON 493 
are in the National ergo s: two sets of the plants of to and 
Pavon. The first and more important is that which was pur- 
chased for the Muzotnis at the sale of Lambert’s penile in 
1842 for the sum o 70; it is thus described in ee ane 
catalogue :—‘ 103. Ruiz and Pavon’s Magnificent Herbar 
Arranged and Mounted by Mr. Lambert, in the large Cabinet, 
collection embraces from 1500 to 1750 species. A Cabinet with 
Drawers, containing about 75 small boxes of aby Fruits, belonging 
also to Ruiz and Pavon’s Herbarium (See Prof. D. Don’s descrip- 
tion of se engi a in the Appendix to Lambert’s Genus Pinus) ; 
of the @ there are about 16 species, Laurine 11 ditto, 
Myristioa 7 ditto and a large number of other very interesting 
specimens, and sundry sections of woods; also a Box containing 
bout 30 specimens of Cinchona and other Barks, and the original 
Biikodseript, which came into Mr. Lambert’s possession at the 
same maa viz. Ruiz (H.) and J. Pavon’s Original Manuscripts in 
Spanish, of their Vo yages, Travels, and Botanical Researches in 
Peru and Chile, 1777-88, consisting of their dh pteieg Lists, and 
Descriptions of the ants, Insects, &c., of Peru and Chili, 
a large quantity, filling a mahogany box 20 bation by 15; 
also a box containing a quantity of miscellaneous Fruits and 
Seeds.” 
It is this collection that is referred to by Laségue in the 
alan quoted (2) by Mr. Hemsley, but the suggestion as to the 
plants of Mocifio and Sesse did not originate with him, but with 
David on in the Appendix to Lambert’s Account of the Genus 
Pinus, p. 32. Ruiz and Pavon do not appear to have visited 
Mexico, and Don had no doubt some rn ae his sige a 
although the labels on the Mexican specimen o way di 
style from those on the rest of the eu and % have ey no 
internal evidence in support of the suggestio 
To this collection only the specimen of "8. utile (4) belongs ; 
the name and locality are in Ruiz’s writing (as are all the rest of 
the tickets cited and aa the herbarium), “ Peru, Pavon,” 
having been added on the back of the sheet by Lambert, as is the 
case with all those belonging to the herbarium above described. 
The label, which is not B pbs accurately transcribed in is. FL, 
a fe Sapium Wlilopiii m de Huayaguil. 
he second collection botiatets of specimens which were acquired 
in Shatlowortt herbarium in 1877; it is quite possible that 
collection acquired for the British Museum, there were sold at 
the sale two sets of Ruiz and Payvon’s plants, which were bought 
by ee for £71 and £177 respectively, the former containin 
“not less than 2500 plants,” in 53 large bundles, the latter “ an 
arranged “éolleetion in 36 large bundles.” age ait was a well- 
ealer in herbaria, and Shuttleworth may well have acquired 
the platite from him; De Candolle i sai a definitely 
mentions “640 venant de l’herb. de Lambert” at the University 
of Greifswald, and Colmeiro (Bosq. Hist. Jard. Bot. Madrid, 88)
