Jonas Dryander, a Swede by birth, who lives with 
Sir Joseph Banks; a very profound botanist, who 
by some single treatises has gained much reputation. 
The description of Sir Joseph Banks’s library, which 
he has published, shews his great knowledge *. 
Charles Louis l’Heritier de Brutelle, formerly 
member of the National Institute at Paris, has made 
himself known by the descriptions of several new 
plants. He has especially described many Peruvian 
plants, discovered by Dombey during his travels.

indispensibly necessary for every botanist is this, that all the 
known and new plants which botanists have described in pe- 
riodical works, or in the publications of academies and learned 
societies, are enumerated there, according to Linné’s system.
