Book Description

Excerpt from Narrative of a Journey in the Interior of China, and of a Voyage to and From That Country 1816 and 1817 Of the assistance of Robert Brown, Esq. The following pages bear sufficient evidence. His description of a new genus, which, in friendly partiality, he has named Abelia, and of two new species of plants, the one leading to the establishment of a new natural order, and the other fixing the place in the natural method of a genus hitherto of doubtful aflinity, gives unequivocal value to my Appendix.
