“...Curasao
and collected plants in the various islands:
J. Ph. B. von Bohr (about 1737—1793) visited Curasao after 1786;
he sent plants from the Antilles to Prof. Vahl at Copenhagen.
It is possible that also in the Banks Herbary in the British
Museum, in the Martius Herbary at Brussels and in the Wildenow
Herbary at Berlin a number of plants from Curasao are found.
F. Bredemeyer (1758—1839) visited CuraQao about 1787, his col-
lections are in the K. K. Hofmuseum at Vienna and in the her-
bary of the Botanical Museum at Berlin.
J. Read also collected in Curasao; his collections are in the
Academy of Nat: Science at Philadelphia; West-Indian plants
also in the Krug und Urban Herbary at Berlin.
H. F. A. Baron von Eggers visited CuraQao in 1893; it is not
known to the present author whether he also collected plants there.
It did not seem advisable to spend time on a search for these
plants, since in all probability this would not result in any new
information. _ (< . '
