Excerpt from Flora Australiensis, Vol. 1: A Description of the Plants of the Australian Territory; Ranunculaceæ to Anacardiaceæ
Of the important and extensive West Australian collections of mr. Jana Damon I have had for examination complete sets of excel lent specimens in the Kew herbaria, and in the majority of instances I have seen them in difi'erent sets so as to check the one with the other. I have thus been enabled to identify nearly the whole of the species published by Tuneumow in the Bulletin dc lasociété Imperiale des N aturalistes de Moscou.' As these collections are very generally distri buted,i have quoted the numbers attached to the specimens where I could do it with any certainty. Unfortunately there is much confusion in some of these numbers, Mr. Drummond having recommenced a fresh series with each of the five collections he sent over, besides one or two supple mentary sets. The first collection, of which many were published by Lindley and others, were not originally numbered, but numbers were afterwards added in a few additional sets sent home. In the Hookerian herbarium, owing to the belief at the time that these numbers were not certain enough for quotation, they were often not preserved; in most instances where they are kept there is no indication of which series they belong to, and in other herbaria I have often found them referred to a wrong series. These numbers cannot therefore be relied on abso lutely for identification without checking them by descriptions.
