CATALOGUE OF THE HANBURY HERBARIUM, IN THE Museum of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. COMPILED BY EH. M. HOLMES, F.LS., cm Curator of the Museum. London: THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN. BLOOMSBURY SQUARE. 1892. PRINTED BY THE PROPRIETORS OF THE PROVINCIAL MEDICAL JOURNAL, LEICESTER. 1 YYW ZEB! BR AR REW Yur: PREFACE BOTANIC: ——~«go—_ In the Pharmaceutical Journal and Transactions for July 8th, 1876, p. 31, the following note will be found, which explains the circum- stances under which the Daniel Hanbury Pharmaceutical Herbarium and Collection of Materia Medica came into the possession of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain : THE MATERIA MEDICA COLLECTION OF THE LATE DANIEL HANBURY. ‘©The PRESIDENT also read the following letter from Mr. Thomas Hanbury, relating to the botanical collection of the late Daniel Hanbury, F.R.S., and suggested that the offer should be gratefully accepted on the conditions named. “« Ashburton House, “Croydon, 29 June, 1876. “To the President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. “Smr,—My late dear brother Daniel Hanbury, when near his end, gave me verbal instructions that he wished ‘his herbarium to be divided between Kew, the Pharmaceutical Society, the British Museum, and Professor Fliickiger.’ “In taking steps to carry out this wish, I have heard many regrets expressed by the scientific friends of my late brother, that there should be any division of his Pharmaceutical collection, which being unique and suit generis, would, it is considered, greatly lose in interest by being divided and scattered. I share this opinion, and believe that had my late brother calmly considered the matter in time of health, he would have come to the same conclusion. “With the approval of my co-executor and my other relatives, I have decided to offer the entire Pharmaceutical collection to your society, on the simple condition that it should be kept apart, and labelled in a suitable manner to show it was formed by my late brother, and that access to the specimens and herbarium be allowed only under most careful regulations to prevent injury or loss. “Tam, yours faithfully, THOMAS HANBURY.” Mr. SANDFORD moved, and Mr. Hills seconded the following, which was carried unamiously : “That the offer of the collection of the late Daniel Hanbury to the Pharmaceutical Society be accepted, with the best thanks of this Council to his executors, and that the letter from Mr. Thomas Hanbury be referred to the Library, Museum, and Laboratory Committee, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for keeping the specimens according to the wishes of the late Daniel Hanbury’s representatives.” In accordance with the wishes then expressed by Mr. Thomas Hanbury, the collection of plants, as well as that of materia medica, is kept apart in a room now known as the Hanbury Room. Conse- quently it appeared to the Council to be desirable that a separate catalogue of the collections should be published. The specimens collected by Daniel Hanbury himself are, as a rule, excellently preserved and complete in detail, but in the case of some received from abroad, it has evidently been impossible to obtain a complete set of specimens. A few, for this reason, or because they belonged to species at that date undescribed, were labelled with the generic name only. Insuch a case, if the plant has been subsequently described, the specific name has been added by the Curator of the Museum. In every case in which explanatory matter has been added, it has been enclosed in brackets thus [ ], so that the Catalogue exclusive of these portions represents the Herbarium as left by Daniel Hanbury. The copious notes and extracts from letters of foreign correspondents have been given in full, except where an abstract has been found sufficient to express all the contents of the letter referring to the particular specimen. Itis hoped that by giving dates, localities, andreferences to published works, ete., the Catalogue may be found useful in economising the time and aiding the investigations of persons desirous of consulting the herbarium, and that it will enable working pharmacists and botanists to ascertain easily whether any plant or part of a plant suitable for purposes of comparison can be seen in the Herbarium. The classification adopted is that of Bentham and Hooker’s “Genera Plantarum.” The plants are arranged alphabetically under each natural order. Where the natural orders in the work above-mentioned have been made to include groups of plants as tribes or suborders formerly treated as distinct natural orders, those tribes or suborders are given, and the plants are arranged - alphabetically under them. The separate sheets of specimens are indicated by italic letters, and the specimens on each sheet by ordinary numerals enclosed in parentheses. The Hanbury Herbarium contains several autograph letters and labels bearing the handwriting of celebrated botanists. These are referred to in the Index under their respective names. A list of the works quoted in this Catalogue is given, together with an annotated list of the Herbaria referred to in the text. Further details regarding these Herbaria may be found in “La Phytographie,” by A. De Candolle (Masson, Paris, 1880), and in “Musee Botanique,” de M. B. Delessert, Par A. Laségue (Paris, Fortin, Masson and Cie, 1845). THE HANBURY HERBARIUM. E2= Tie letters of the alphabet under each species are used to indicate a herbarium sheet, and the numerals in parenthesis refer to the specimens from different localities. DICOTYLEDONES. I.

Clematis Oaripensis, H.B.K. a. Twig in fruit. “Crespia.” The following extract is attached to this specimen :— . “Among the dried specimens I send a portion of a vine, or large creeper, called by the Indians ‘Crespia,’ or blistering leaf, much used among them and among many of the native doctors. I have often recommended it myself to the poor as a cheap blister. In using it, a few fresh leaves should be bruised in a mortar with a little water or vinegar, and applied to the skin for about ten minutes, or until a slight redness is produced on the part. The leaves are then carefully re- moved and a little fresh lard gently rubbed on, when the blister shortly after rises. If the leaves are left on too long, a troublesome sore en- sues. For children, a small rag wetted with the liquid answers the purpose. ““There are two varieties, the smaller one which I send, and the larger from Nicaragua, which produces a pod like cotton. From the flowers a feeble counter-irritant is produced. Flowers in June and July.” (Letter from Dr. Dorat. Sonsonate 12, Aug., 63.) 7. Clematis Flammula, L. a. Twig in flower with detached fruits.

H., who adds in pencil, “same as 3860 Abuta, Rio de Janeiro, Coll. Glaziou, in Herb. Kew. Doubtfully referred to Abuta rufescens, Aubl. in Herb.

(Folhas da planta qui produira Pareira brava)”; (2) “Folha da Abutua de St. Sebastiao”; (3) “Abutua de St. Sebastiao.” By D. H. the sheets are labelled: ‘ Botryopsis platyphylla, Miers.” b. Ditto. This is Menispermacex, No.5. ‘“Folhas da Abutua pequena ou Pareira brava pequena” of J. Correa de Mello, and is also labelled by D. H.: “ Botryopsis platyphylla, Miers.” c. Ditto, Leafy stem with detached portion of stem and young fruit. This is “No. 5, Abuta miuda, Butinha vel Pareira brava miuda,” from Theodor Peckolt, Cantagallo, Brazil, 1867,and is labelled by D. H.: “(Botryopsis platyphylla, Miers),” and superseribed “Chondodendron tomentosum, R. & P.” d. Twig, with leaves and detached inflorescence. From Theodor Peckolt, Cantagallo, Brazil, 1867, and is labelled in D. H’s writing: “ Botryopsis platyphylla, Miers (Eichler in Martius’ Fl. Bras., fase. 38, tab. 48),” and is superscribed : “ Chondodendron tomentosum, Reece. e. Ditto, a second specimen. f. Flowering twig, with smaller leaves. This is labelled: “No. 5 Butinha vel Pareira Brava miuda; with dried stems, from Theodor Peckolt, 1867 ;” it is also labelled with the two botanical names. g. Ditto, a second specimen, with portion of stem and detached fruit. Labelled as above, and also as “ Abuta miuda.” h. A third specimen, with stem and panicle of young fruit. i. Ditto, a fourth specimen, with large leaves. h and ¢ are labelled in the same way as g. j. A flowering and a fruiting twig. *[The first r in the name Chondrodendron is here omitted in deference to the opinion expressed by the late Daniel Hanbury. ‘Science Papers,’ p. 387. THALAMIFLORA, 5 This is No. 7 “Butua legitima vel Pareira Brava legitima,” Theodor Peckolt, 1867, and is labelled by D. H.: “ Cocculus Chondodendron, Dec. ; Chondodendron tomen- toswm, R. & P.; Cissampelos Abutua, Velloso, Flor. Flum. x.t. 140, and Botryopsis platyphylla Miers. With large specimen of stem and fruits, both dried and in alcohol.” k, Seedling plant, and a very large leaf. The seedling plant was raised at Clapham from seeds received from Mr. Glaziou, 1874; the leaf was sent by T. Peckolt, 1867. Attached to this sheet is the proof of the drawing of the fruit published in Pharm. Journ., 2 Aug., 1873. [Specimen ¢ differs from the other specimen of (. fomentosum in the more acuminate leaves, although younger leaves on a separate shoot are obtuse. The super- scription of Chondodendron tomentoswm over Botryopsis platyphylla in these specimens appears to have followed a recognition of the fact pointed out to D. H. by K. M. H., that the Kew specimens at that time labelled Botryopsis platyphylla were identical with those at the British Museum labelled Chondodendron tomen- tosum, R. & P., and were different from the British Museum specimens of Botryopsis platyphylla, Miers. | 21.

The upper specimen is labelled “ Alté volibil; fructus maduras de cor verde muito desmaiada, minores que en do C. glaberrima, mas, fructifera, 17 Jan., 1869.” Hanbury appears to have been in doubt about this specimen, since a letter from Professor Oliver is attached to it in which it is stated :— “Probably M. Miers would regard it as distinct, but according to our Kew authorities and Dr. Eichler, who monographed the Menispermacee for ‘ Flora Brasiliensis,’ it is C. Pareira. d.

Leaves, with detached bark and fruit. Received from N. Wilson, Bath. Jamacia, 3 Nov., 1856. A note is appended in Hanbury’s writing to this specimen, quoting a statement by Mr. N. Wilson, that ‘‘ when growing on the plain it isa strong and bushy shrub, not more that 10 or 12 feet high, and having much the appearance of the Laurustinus (Viburum Tinus, 1.) of Europe. When growing on the mountains it attains a much larger size, being 50 or 60 feet in height.” The Catalogue of the Jamaica Contributions to the Paris Exhibition deseribes it as ‘‘ Wild Cinnamon, Canella alba,” a common tree on mountains and rocky hills, and in lower woods, growing to 40 or 50 feet (p. 36). 45, Bixa Orellana, L. uw.

Ditto, with detached portion of root. Jiron, near Pamplona, New Granada. John Weir, | Feb., 1864. “The root is collected and shipped to Europe where it is known as Savanilla Rhatany.” The following notes in D. Hanbury’s handwriting are attached to these specimens :— “« Agrees well with ‘ Krameria Ixina, L., Mexico,’ Herb. Pavon ; also with the same plant marked ‘Curassao, Mr. Von Rohr, 1783.’ It seems to be the same species as ‘ Krameria,’ collected by Gardner (no number), marked as ‘Common,’ on dry hilly pastures in the Sartao, of the Province of Ceara, Sept., 1838; the same also as ‘Krameria, No. 925,’ of Gardner’s Brazilian Plants, British Museum, 12 May, 1854. Professor Oliver and I compared this plant with the species of Krameria in the Hookerian Herbarium, and found it to agree with Krameria, No. 925, marked in Gardner's writing thus :—‘ A shrub about 3 feet high with long spreading branches, on a low hill covered with bushes, in the interioy of the island of Itamarica, Dec., 1837.’ 47. 48. 49. THALAMIFLOR&, “There is no specimen in the Linnean Herbarium. A full description ° ol Krameria Ixvina is contained in ‘ Loefling, Iter Hispanicum’ (Stock- holm, 1758, p. 195). The leaves of the plant are stated to be ‘ alterna, lanceolata, superiora linearia acuta, subsessilia,’ terms which are not inapplicable to the British Museum specimen (Payon and Kohr’s), admitting the bracts to be the linear, acute, subsessile upper leaves. Gardner's ‘ Krameria, No. 4094, from upland sandy campos, Serra Geral, Province of Goyaz, May, 1860,’ and ‘ No. 2781, District of the tio Prato, Province of Pernambuco, Sept., 1839,’ is a species coming very near to K. Ixina (assuming No. 925 to be that plant), but the entire plant is rather more shaggy, and the fruit has the spines more numerous, not barbed, with only a few scattered hairs between them (instead of a dense tomentum)’. [See paper by Hanbury in Proc. Roy, Hort. Soe., Nov. and Dee. 1864, p. 181; Pharm. Journ. (2), vi., p. 460; ‘Science Papers,’ p. 323.] The following description, quoted from a letter from J. Triana, is also appended :— ‘‘ Krameria Ixina var. 8 granatensis suffrutex ramosus, foliis ovatis in petiolun attenuatis, spathulatisve, acutis, spinescentibus, crassis, obscure 3d-nerviis, sicut tota planta pube brevissima incanis, supremis in bracteas lineares pungentes abeuntibus, floribus pedicellatis in racemos tervminales digestis, fructu globoso magnitudine pisi, aculeis retrorsuin scubris muricato, 1-spermo.” A specimen of K.

It is an indelible pigment, colour of gamboge. I supposed the tree was a species of Vismia. The roots, I now find, are much esteemed as a remedy here ; decoctions drank in tea have performed great cures in old chronie gonorrhea. The botanical specimens were taken, some from the tree, which yielded the gum, and others from those from which I took the roots ; not observing any specific difference, I have put them together.” Specimen d is labelled, ‘‘ Yields a red gum, applied exter- nally in ringworm, &c.

A letter from Dr. A. O. Black, dated Kew, May 19th, 1862, is attached to this specimen, in which the following remarks occur :— “*On looking at the genus Scaphiwm in Herb. Hook. I find three sheets with follicles, and with the follicles on one sheet a piece of a Euphor- biaceous plant in flower and leaf, which I have had cut off, so I send you one of the follicles, and I think from looking at it you will readily admit that it is extremely like your Chinese ‘ Ta-hai-tsze.” If you have leaves on the specimens in the Exhibition, could you manage to get some for Herb. Hook. as we have none, neither have we of flowers? Wallich’s specimens are from Martaban, and Griffith’s, one of which is enclosed, from Malacca. Hooker and Bentham retain the plant in Stereulia (S. scaphigera), and Brown in ‘Plantze Javanice’ ranks it as a genus under the name of Scaphium Wallichii.” [See Pharm Journ.

The former letter has a note attached in Daniel Hanbury’s writing, to the following effect :— ‘‘Subsequent comparison with a large suite of specimens from the Kew Herbarium, as well as specimens from the Herbarium of the Linnean Society, fully confirmed Dr. Hooker's opinion that the Hang- Chow plant is Xanthoxylum alatum, Roxb.” In the other letter De Candolle states that he has compared Hanbury’s X. alatum with Xanthoxylum acanthopodium, D.C., and that the latter is very different, having imparipinnate leaves with 9 leaflets, not ternate, the rachis more narrowly winged, the leaflets longer, more gradually attenuated above, and generally long thin spines (‘‘aculeoles”) on the middle side. The secondary ones are more closely approxi- mated, more numerous, more prominent, and the leaflets are pubescent on the secondary veins. The length of the leaf is 7—8 inches. The spines of the rachis are more veined. 88. Xanthoxylum Bungei, Planchon. a. Leafy stem. Garden, Clapham Common, 7 Aug., 1866. Raised from seed received from Pekin. b. Twigs in fruit. DISCIFLORA.

Stronach in which he says the plant is called at Pekin, Hwa- chieao. A note in pencil by D. H., states—Mr. Bennett would call this “ X. piperitum.” [The fruit of X. piperitum in the Hanbury Materia Medica collection differs from this specimen in being reticulated and without raised tubercles. 89. Xanthoxylum piperitum, D.C, Clapham, cultivated in the garden, 1 Oct., 1864. This specimen has only the flowers, but is accompanied by a pen and ink sketch of the young fruit. [Note.—The fruit of XY. alatum is covered with small, raised, scattered tubercles, which are apparently oil glands. These are more abundant and crowded in X. Bunget. The fruit of X. piperitum in the Hanbury Collection of Materia Medica differs from both these in having a reticulated surface, in which the oil glands appear to be sunken. Mr. Stronach’s specimen has crowded tubercles like the other specimens of X. Bungei. It is not apparent, therefore, why Hwa-tseaou is stated in ‘Science Papers,’ p. 228, to be applied to the fruits of ‘‘the two species of Xanthoxylum,” viz. : X. piperitum, D.C., and X. alatum, Roxb., since from the Herbarium specimens above enumerated it would seem that fruits of XY. alatwm are used in Hang-Chow under the name of Hwa- tseaon, and those of X. Bungei under the same name in Pekin.] TriBe. VII. AURANTIEX. 90. Citrus Bergamia, Risso. (Bergamot Orange.) a. Twig with flowers and rind of fruit.

To this species must be added as asynonym Cupania laxiflora, (Spruce), Benth. Bentham has been perhaps induced to hold his Jaxiflora for differentfrom Martius’ C. micrantha, with reference to a Cujaban specimen of C. micrantha given out in the Herb. Hort. Bras., sub. No. 274, but I believe this is only a ‘‘vegetior,” and thickly flowering form of the C. micrantha, growing in the fertile, not the inundated, soil of Cujaba. If . P this No. 274 should prove different from the true C. micrantha, it would be necessary to keep up the name of C. micrantha, Mart. (including C. laxiflora), and to establish anew name for 274, but I believe that Mr. Bentham shall not find any powerful distinctive note in leaves and flowers.” [As the other two specimens are marked, in Hanbury’s writing, ‘“ C. micrantha, Mart ?’ I submitted the specimens DISCIFLORA. to Dr. Radlkofer, in Oct., 1885, during his stay at Kew, where he was working at a monograph of the Sapindacee, and he identified them as Matayba gquianensis, Aub. } In Benth. and Hook.

Twig, with leaves and 3 fruits, and detached leaves, From the Province of Ceara; Dr. F. F. Allemio ; received 2 Nov., 1864. Appended to this sheet is a long descriptive botanical account of the plant, in Portuguese, from Dr. Allemao, who evidently regarded the tree as a new species ; but Mr. Hanbury, in his note book (vii. p. 314), writes as follows :—“ Dr. Allemao has been so good as to send me some leaves of this tree (M. erythroxylum, Allemio), from an examination of which I am of your (Capanema) opinion that it is the same species as M. peruiferum, Linn. f.”—D.

Leaflets and flowers, and tracing of fruit. The leaflets and flowers were received from Dr. Klotzsch, 30 Aug., 1853, under the name of Myrorylon pedicel- latum, Klotzsch ; M. peruiferwm, K1.,in Hayne’s Arzney- Gewiichse, vol. xiv., t. 2; Myrospermum pedicellatum, Lamarck. The tracing is that of the pods of (Myrorylon pedicellatum, Klotzsch) “Myrospermum bal- samiferum,” in Pavon’s collection in the British Museum. Of these specimens Hanbury remarks :—‘“ Four specimens of the above, marked thus, are in Pavon’s Herbarium in the British Museum ; all have flowers and fruits also in a more or less young state; in none does the fruit appear quite mature. J. J. Bennett and Professor Guibourt agree with me as to the identity of these four specimens of the above.” —D.H., 20 Sept., 1853. CALYCIFLOR.. 45 Hanbury has also placed the word “No! D, H., 5 Aug., 1865,” against the words, Myrospermum pedicellatum, Lamarck, thus indicating that he does not believe it to be identical with Myroxylon pedicellatum, Klotzsch, (Bonplandia, 15 Sept., 1857, p. 276), as may also be seen by the following memorandum attached to this specimen: “ Myrospermum pedicellatum, Lamarck, of whichthe original specimen, collected by J. de Jussieu, is at Paris, I regard as identical with MW. peruiferum, Linn. f., and consequently as distinct from Myroxylon pedicellatum, Klotsch. Of Klotsch’s M. pedicellatum, the only specimens I know are those derived from Ruiz and Payon’s Herbarium. These were confounded by Lambert with Myroxylon punctatum, Klotzsch, a plant with large leaves and pods. yroxylon pedicellatum, Klotzsch, has always (as it seems to me) an oval (not oblong) leaf which never dries flat. The leaf is also greyish, the flowers dry brown as if the standard were deep yellow when fresh. I saw in Paris (if I am not mistaken, but Triana maintains that I am) at the Museum, 28 July, 1864, a serap of this plant attached to a sheet of Jf. punctatum, and pointed it out to Triana, who thereupon marked it in pencil.” Forma y.—Myroxylon pubescens, H.

In the Myrospermum balsamiferum at the British Museum, the leaflets are usually more acute than in these.” A. J. de Warszewicz asserts that the yellow leaves (a) are from large trees, and the green leaves ()) from younger trees. But they are so different I can scarcely believe them to be of the same genus. c. Leaflets, flowers, fruit, and balsam. From Dr. Klotzsch ; 30 Aug., 1853.
