Full Title: VOYAGES DANS L'INTERIEUR DE LA LOUISIANE, de la Floride Occidentale, et dans les Isles de la Martinique et de Saint-Domingue, Pendant les annees 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806 ; Contenant de Nouvelles Observations sur l'Histoire Naturelle, la Geographie, les Moeurs, l'Agriculture, le Commerce, l'Industrie et les Maladies de ces Contrees, particulierement sur la Fievre Jaune, et les Moyens de la prevenir. En outre, contenant ce qui s'est passe de plus interesssant, relativement a l'Etablissement des Anglo-Americains a la Louisiane. Suivis de la Flore Louisianaise. This the third volume deals mainly with Louisiana rather than the West Indies. It is especially important for its comments on natural history and "La Flore Louisianaise" later translated into English by C. S. Rafinesque and published in New York in 1817. In 1807, C. C. Robin published in French an account of his travels. Rafinesque was a controversial figure and his revision was not entirely satisfactory. He not only translated, but abridged and augmented Robin's flora quite extensively. The result being a systematic catalogue enumerating over 525 species. Rafinesque claimed 30 genera and 196 species as new to science. Plant taxonomists since then have had extreme difficulty in interpreting the status of these so-designated new taxa, because of the often cryptic descriptions Rafinesque provided and the fact that no specimens (or types) that Robin might have obtained are known to exist. Howes R362; Sabin 72039; Graff 3524. Quite scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR-VOYAGES
