So far no Vellozo material has been traced either in Lisboa or Paris \[inf.: J.P.P. Carauta, in lit.\]. – A manuscript copy of the text of *Flora fluminensis* (in four different handwritings) is at the Biblioteca nacional, Rio de Janeiro; this is not necessarily the original manuscript (J.H. Kirkbride in litt.). The Biblioteca nacional also holds original drawings. For further documents see Borgmeier (1961). #### Bibliography and biography Backer p. 611 (erron.); BM 5: 2201; Colmeiro 1: cciv; CSP 11: 685; DSB 13: 601-602 (T.F. Glick); GF p. 79 (W.T.

Mus. nac. Rio de Janeiro 5, 1881, p. \[i\*-xii\*\], \[1\]-461. *Copies*: BR, G, HH, LC, MO; IDC 5788. – Text published by Ladislau Netto, who added an introduction on p. ix-xii preceding the actual text of the *Flora* (pagination Arq. vol. 5: \[i\]-xii, \[i\*-xii\*\], \[1\]-461). – Pages 1-329 (*Sabbata romana*) reproduce the 1825 \[1829\] text; 329 (Sabbata polyphylla)-461 contain new text. The names of new taxa, however, date from the publication in the *Icones* 8-11. 1831. *Icones*: 1640 plates in 11 volumes, dated 1827, but distributed for the first time only on 29 October 1831 (see Carauta 1973 and associated sources). The taxa not described in the 1825 \[1829\] text, (but appearing in the 1881 text, p. 329-462) are here in general validly published by means of an illustration with analysis. – The plates were manufactured in Paris and shipped to Rio de Janeiro. In the absence of proof of earlier distribution in Paris (first mention Bibl. Fr. 16 Jan 1836), the date of distribution in Rio de Janeiro should be accepted. *Title-page*: Petro Nomine ac Imperio primo brasiliensis imperii perpetuo defensore imo fundatore scientiarum artium litterarumque patrono et cultore jubente *Florae fluminensis icones* nunc primo eduntur.
