This sheet was removed from a North
America Juncus cover. Both specimens
are of Marsippospermum grandiflorum Cane!)
Hook.f. (Juncaceae)
The Menzies specimen on the left (not
in his handwriting) has been wrongly
provenanced. It is almost certainly from
Staten Island (ie. Isla de los Estados,
Tierra del Fuego,Argentina) and collected
by Archibald Menzies when he visited that
locality in February 1778. A smaller
example of the species is on his own
herbarium sheet (see in this same folder. )
The specimen on the right collected on
Capt.P.P.King’s voyage is correctly localised
(ie. from the Straits of Magellan. )
