During the trip Plumier made the drawings and the descriptions, whereas Surian made the collections. The extensive herbarium in book-form (10 volumes) came to hands of the Jussieu family and is now at [[Collection P|P]] (herbier historique). It contains a great many plants that are referable to Plumier species and is for that reason an important, although hitherto hardly used, source of information. The Surian herbarium was used by both Adanson and A.L. Jussieu, and is repeatedly quoted by the former author. The Surian names are, however, manuscript names and were never published by Surian himself. – See also Clokie.
