najium of Hamburgh^ which contains a few 
notes from a MS. left by Plukenet 
Dr. Plukenet has not failed to record 
the names of a numerous fet of benefactors, 
by whofe communications he was, from 
time to time, enabled to amplify his col- 
ledlion, and introduce many new plants to 
the knowledge of the curious ♦ Among fe- 
veral others, we find, repeatedly, the names 
of Petiver, Courten, Sherard, Du- 
bois, Bi£hop CoMPTON, Dr. Ta?icredKo^ 
BiNsoN, Dr. Sloane, Cunningham, and 
Uvedale. Some of thefe I fhall have 
occalion to commemorate in feparate ar- 
ticles ; but I regret that I cannot colledl any 
material anecdotes relating to his friend and 
fellow collegian, Uvedale, LL.D. 
of whom Plukenet ever fpeaks in a ftile 
which indicates that he held him in great 
efteem. 
^ Father Plumier complimented this learned botanifr, 
by calling after his name a climbing ivy-leaved plant, of 
the Moncecious clafs, with a Monadclphous flower, defcribed 
only by himfelfj and by Rumphius, being a native of 
both Indies*
