many European plants are mention’d as natives
of that country. among these are Vaccinium
Myrtillus and V. oxycoccus .. Arbutus Uva[-]ursi
and what is more remarkable still an Erica
of which the specific name is not given but
he can hardly have been mistaken in the genus.

– 12[.] Many european plants are noticed
by Thunberg as natives of South Africa and
of several of these, at least, there seems to be no
reason to doubt. I have myself found at
the Cape Samolus Valerandi and Corrigiola littoralis.

– 13. There appears to me no reason to doubt
Rumph’s Quercus molucca’s from which the
Linnean species so called was established, being
really a Quercus. altho’ Commerson has consider’d
it as more probably a Laurus.. In Sir Joseph
Banks’s Herbarium there is more than one
species of the genus from Sumatra, and one
from Java.

analoge Klimate gleiche Pflanzen
hervorbringen[,] lies  Ross 1847, II, 302: „The naturalist who first visited the Fuegian shores felt probably only disappointment when recognising the familiar genera and representative species of his European home: he would naturally infer, with a corresponding diminution of interest, that analogous latitudes produce an analogous vegetation in opposite hemispheres. Experience has proved the fallacy of such a conclusion; and accordingly the Flora of Fuegia claims an additional and peculiar charm, in its being the only region south of the tropics where the botany of our temperate zone is, as it were, repeated to a very considerable extent.“
