Haid. Augujlanus,'' Dccuria L 1750. fol. 
reg. — Decur. X. 1773. 
Seven Decads of this work were publifh- 
ed at Dr. Trew*s expence, during his life- 
time 'y and the remaining three by Dr. Vo- 
ce l, after his deceafe. The whole is exe- 
cuted in fo fplendid a manner, as to confti- 
tute, at this day, one of the fineft orna- 
ments of the botanical library. 
The only publication of any importance 
in England y in which Mr. Ehret was en- 
gaged throughout, as far as I can find, was 
Brown's Natural Hiftory of jamaka," 
printed in 1756, for which he drew ail the 
figures, amounting to 40 tables. As they 
were principally taken from prepared and 
dried fpecimens, they cannot be numbered 
among his capital performances. 
Mr.EHRET dre'w, and himfelf engraved, 
a fet of tables of Exotics, two or three on 
each plate, to the number of fifteen ; each 
table containing alio a Butterfly of exotic 
origin. Thefe WTre publifhed at London ^ 
in 1748— 1759. The lafi; of thefe exhi- 
bits the Cape Jafmine, Gardenia fiorida, 
which had flowered for the firfh time in 
England^
