L. Bauer* \[standard form in IPNI: *F.L.Bauer*\] #### Original drawings Bauer based his drawings of Australian plants mostly on material collected by, or at any rate in the hands of, Robert Brown (BM). The plants collected by Bauer on Norfolk Island on which Endlicher based his *Prodromus florae Norfolkicae* (Wien 1833, no. 1674) are at W (dupl. in Smith herbarium at LINN and in Thunberg herbarium at UPS). 236 of Bauer's drawings of Australian plants are at BM. The original drawings for some of the plates of A. B. Lambert's *A description of the genus Pinus* (1803-1824) are also at BM. The original water-colour drawings for Sibthorp and Smith's *Flora graeca* (1806-1840) are at OXF. See Nissen (Botanische Buchillustration ed. 2. 2: 9. 1966, sub 96) for a detailed list of Bauer's drawings. See Flora 10: 176 (21 Mar 1827) for the purchase by W of Bauer's herbarium and several of his drawings. *Ref*.: IH 2: 60. - Anon., Flora 10: 176. 21 Mar 1827 (sale herbarium). - Britten, J.

Borzi (1897), *Bauerella* A. K. Schindler (1926), *Baueropsis* J. Hutchinson (1964) are based on Australian collections and might be eponymys for one or both of the Bauer brothers. #### Note No portrait of Ferdinand Bauer is known to exist. ### Publications ##### n.362. Illustrationes florae Novae Hollandiae **Title** *Illustrationes florae Novae Hollandiae*, sive icones generum quae in Prodromo Florae Novae Hollandiae et insulae van Diemen descripsit Robertus Brown. London (author) \[1806-\] 1813. Fol. **Abbreviated title**: *Ill. fl. Novae Holl.* **Notes** *Publ*.: Between 1806 and 1813, p. \[i\]-vii, *pl. 1-16. Copies*: BM, G (15 pl.), L (15 pl.), MO (*15 pl.*)The plates are coloured copper or uncoloured engravings (51 X 34 cm). Nissen states that publication took place in three parts; this is confirmed by a letter from J. F. v. Jacquin to A. P. de Candolle of 2 Jan 1817 \[sic\] in which he states that the "third fascicle" has been published ("a paru ici"). The BM copy contains proofs of each of the 16 plates. A copy was presented to the Paris Academy on 14 Sep 1818 \[sic\] (PV 6: 358. 1915). The sixteenth plate is very rare (*Lambertia formosa*) (BM). The plates were drawn, engraved and coloured by Bauer himself; Dunthorne speaks of "etchings." The number of copies was probably less than fifty, some plain ones included. Endlicher bought the remaining copies of *pl. 1-15* from the estate and put them at the disposal of his friends (letter to Bentham 12 May 1833). *Ref*.: BM 1: 112; DU 27; GF p. 49; Jackson p. 398; Kew 1: 180; NI 96; PR 493; IDC 5839.
