See Ross p. 196 for the detailed list of the plates of the Phanerogamic part. Ross gives "27 Nov 1837, but probably 27 Jan 1837 or earlier" for livraison 4. – The 15 unnumbered plates of the phanerogamic part are not accompanied by published descriptions. The names of new taxa appearing on these pages are validly published if the illustration includes an analysis, that is a figure or group of figures showing the details necessary for identification, with or without a caption describing or naming the details (ICBN, Arts. 41, 42, 44).

The 31 *plates* are copper engravings of drawings by Bory de Saint-Vincent and E. Delile (13, 15, 16 coloured, fide PR).
