Tibet
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.
– Humboldt vergibt die Nummer 13 in seinem
Fragenkatalog versehentlich doppelt. Brown führt die Zählung in seinen
Antworten allerdings lückenlos fort. Im Folgenden beziehen sich also
Browns Antwort 14 auf Humboldts Frage 13[b] („Plantes communes aux
tropiques...“), Browns Antwort

I entertain myself no doubt that there are
many plants common to the
aequinoctial
regions of both Continents: with respect
to the plants
mention’d in your query

Ausser Tierra del Fuego wo 33 engl
Pflanzen sind[,] ist es falsch dass
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.“
