### Author
Aublet, Jean Baptiste Christophe Fusée (1720-1778), French explorer and botanist, founder of the knowledge of the flora of Guyana.
**Abbreviated name**: *Aubl.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Aubl.*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Aublet's herbarium was divided after his death and put up for sale. The main fragments are at [[Collection BM|BM]] (through Sir Joseph Banks) and at Paris (in the Denaiffe collection, in the Tristan herbarium, and the herbaria of Lamarck and Jussieu). Other sets of some size are at [[Collection S|S]] in the herbarium of the younger Linnaeus, and at [[Collection C|C]] in the Vahl herbarium. Isolated specimens are encountered in various herbaria ([[Collection BR|BR]], [[Collection F|F]], [[Collection LIV|LIV]], [[Collection MO|MO]], [[Collection UPS|UPS]], [[Collection W|W]]). – The original drawings are for the greater part at [[Collection BM|BM]] (through Banks). The missing numbers are listed by Dryander, p. 189. In addition there are sixty non-published drawings and various manuscripts.

### Publications
##### n.206. Histoire des plantes de la Guiane françoise
**Title**
*Histoire des plantes de la Guiane françoise*, rangées suivant la méthode sexuelle, avec plusieurs mémoires sur différens objets intéressans, relatifs à la culture et au commerce de la Guiane françoise, et une notice des plantes de l'Isle-de-France. Ouvrage orné de près de quatre cents planches en taille-douce, ou sont représentées des plantes qui n'ont point encore été decrites ni gravées, ou qui ne l'ont été qu'imparfaitement. Londres, Paris (Pierre-François Didot jeune) 1775, 4 vols. Qu.
**Abbreviated title**: *Hist. pl. Guiane*.
**Notes**
*Publ*.: Jun-Dec 1775. – The "Catalogue des livres nouveaux" (Paris) offers the book for subscription on 12 Mar 1775. On 10 Jun 1775 publication is announced of all four volumes at a price of 72 "livres" which was to be in force until 1 Sep 1775. From the announcement (repeated in various periodicals) it might be concluded that the four volumes were actually available in June. However, this remains open to doubt; it is more likely that all parts (72?) had come out by the end of the year. – In some copies the generic name *Tamonea* occurs twice (p. 440, 659) for different genera. In most copies, however, the pages containing the first entry have been cancelled, the text now giving the name *Fothergilla. Copies*: U(2).
