Ferdinandus Bauer, celeberrimus plantarum pictor, Flindersiani peripli cum Roberto Brown socius, per aliquot annorum 1804 et 1805 menses in Norfolkiae insulâ, florente tunc Anglorum colonia, colligendis pingendisque stirpibus immoratus, thesaurum omni botanico exoptatissimum ex hoc itinere retulit.

Herbarium siccum pictumque ab eo in Norfolkia congestum, post praematurum summi artificis fatum, pactâ cum haeredibus pecunia, una cum reliquis itinerum suorum spoliis Museo palatino Vindobonensi est illatum.

Floram Norfolkicam, ex diti hac plantarum orbis australis gaza, annuente penes quem Musei caesarei summa cura est, Carolo a Schreibers viro inclyta fama illustrissimo depromptam, summa cura adornare conatus sum.

Quidquid ex hac opella in scientiam commodi redundare confido, Baueri in colligendis stirpibus

industriae, in desiccando dexteritati et divino plane in pingendo ingenio debetur; naevos, qui mei sunt, ipsa rei difficultas excusabit spero.

De Florae Norfolkicae indole et universa plantarum per Oceani australis insulas distributione, alio loco agam. - Iconum splendidissimarum fasciculus propediem lucem videbit. - Vale.

. Seriei interioris lobus posticus (p.) in omnibus generibus hucdum cognitis dissimilis et nanus, atquc adeo Orchidearum labello analogus; reliquarum per singula genera diversa est proportio, et diversa inter se in unum coeundi ratio. Sic in Urania phylla omnia sunt libera, in Heliconia exteriora basi breviter inter se cohaerent, interiora libera, sed antica approximata, in Strelitzia exteriora omnino inter se distincta, interiora antica vero connata, in Musa denique series exterior cum interioris foliolis anticis in perigonii labium inferius concrescit: qui generum e perigonii structura essentiales cbaracteres hac formula stenographica exprimi possent:
Urania = P-P/A/a-a/p.

Heliconia = (PP/A)/aa/p.

Strelitzia = P-P/A/(aa)/p.

Musa =

Alias adhuc dari in hoc ordine partium perigonii conformationes, probabile videtur; diversa in nonnullis speciebus e solo fructu

cognitis seminum conformatione, genera Musacearum plura adhuc in novo continente latere arguente. Sic Urania guyanensis (L. C. Rich. Comment. de Musaceis t. 6. et 7.) a Ravenala habitu non minus quam seminum numero, figura, funiculi et arilli conformatione ipsaque embryonis directione adeo differt, ut speciem hanc, flore verisimiliter etiam diversam, distincti generis (Phenakosperum dicendi) typum habere nulli dubitemus.

OBSERVATIO. King, primus colonorum in insulam Norfolk ductor, Musae speciem sponte ibidem natam a se repertam fuisse ait, (Vid. Hunters Nachrichten von Neu-Süd-Wallis. Vers. germ. Forsteri p. 290.) idem alio loco de Musa in hac insula culta colendaque loquitur. (Vid. Collins New-South-Wallis, ed. 2. Lond. 1804. p. 311.) Bauerus speciem apyrenam, cujus nulla in ejus herbario exstant specimina, verisimiliter tamen cultam, graphice magis quam botanice ibidem delineavit. De Musae specie seminifera teste Forstero (in Hunter's Nachricht. p. 290. et Bemerkung. p. 157.) ab illustri Banksio in Novae-Hollandiae continente reperta, altum apud R. Brown silentium.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
