i Miller, Philip (1691 - 18 December 1771) English botanist of Scottish descent. Produced  'Figures of the most beautiful, useful and uncommon plants', described in the gardeners' dictionary (1755-1760)  Miller, John  (Botanical illustrator) http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=268646


ii The Gardener's Dictionary" by Philip Miller of the Chelsea Physic Garden was undoubtedly one of the most important works of the eighteenth century, both to botanists and gardeners. It went into numerous editions in England and abroad.

iii In a Google transcribed edition of Miller's Garden Dictionary, in the entry above Physalis Arborescens, you find Raii Hift 1632, referring to his publication: Baccifera Indica, floribus ad foliorum exortus, fruitu fulcato decapyreno..   Baccifera is Latin for berry-bearing. Could be John Rays catalogue

iv Possibly Thunberg, Carl Peter (Thunb) . (11 November 1743 - 8 August 1828)Swedish naturalist 
v Very faint- washed out writing . Reading uncertain..
vi This could be HMS Providence. a sloop of the Royal Navy, famous for being commanded by William Bligh on his second breadfruit voyage between 1791 and 1794.
vii Anderson.Alexander (1748-1807) one of the first two superintendent curators of the St Vincents botanic garden. - he was captured by the French (these botanists had a hard time) ransomed Martinique to St Lucia
viii Martinique. Martinico is another name for Martinique. The part that looks like Le could be Isle.
ix Eltham gardens was owned by James Sherard 1666-1738 and was 8 miles from London bridge, he invited Dillenius  (or there is now an Eltham Gardens Plant nursery in St Ann Jamaica so there may have been one in the past.)
x Broberg, Swen Peter 1798-1878 Swedish botanist viaf= 19149659810106830845
xi Solanum lobatum
xii Hortus botanicus Vindobonensis by von Jacquin, Nikolaus Joseph, Baron, viaf = 59120694  Dutch Scientist and botanist worked in Vienna

xiii Possibly Hortus Elthamensis, a 2-volume work of plant descriptions and illustrations, pub 1732 by John James Dillenius. Dillenius was German, brought to England in 1721 by William Sherard, an amateur botanist ... See www.jstor.org/stable/42792377?seq=
xiv Solanum bahamense
xv Roxburgh, William, 1751-1815, botanist,viaf= 40160036
xvi The 8 has a tail which looks like it could be a 9 or a mistake, but 1787 looks more likely
xvii There is a  Williams, Richard (fl. 1795) in ipni.org but no link found to Chile
xviii No reference found. There is a a Hortus Carlsruh (Flora Badensis Alsatica)  produced by Gmelin,Karl Christian 1762-1832 which matches the dates but no link to Chile. Hortus cliffortianus and Hortus cantabrigiensis do not match dates
xix Possibly Clarke, Edward Daniel, Dr. (5 June 1769 - 9 March 1822), no viaf.English clergyman, naturalist, mineralogist,
 or more likely Thomas Clarke,Thomas Dr. as superintendent of Enfield (1775) and later Bath botanic gardens in Jamaica from 1779 No viaf.

xx Possibly a Botanical society.eg Californian Botanical Society  or college of Botanical Sciences
xxi Lycium afrum is a synonym of Lycium rigidum . 

xxii Possibly Smith, Christopher superintendent of the Penang Botanic Gardens 1805 and worked at Kew gardens. Plant collecting expedition with Wiles, Broughton on the HMS Providence 1791-93
 or
Smith, Christen (17 October 1785 - 22 September 1816) was an early 19th-century Norwegian physician, economist and naturalist, particularly botanist. 
xxiii S.J.B. Sir Joseph Banks?  or J.I.B. Journal of Indian Botany?
xxiv Not very clear- has been written over.
xxv  possibly another reference to Hortus Elthamensis ...
xxvi  Not as clear as endnote ii but could be Thunberg, Carl Peter (Thunb) . (11 November 1743 - 8 August 1828)Swedish naturalist and an "apostle" of Carl Linnaeus
xxvii Gentiana centaurium on ipni.org
xxviii Possibly Hortus Chelseanus. Cannot find what H.C. might refer to but obviously a botanical publication in 1794 that has several editions later also referred to as in  1789,1793 
xxix The 8 could be a 9 so this date is 1789 or 1799.
