SummaryTwenty-seven specimens, collected between 1788 and I795 by John White, SurgeonGeneral to Port Jackson, New South Wales, Australia, are listed. Their original names and the names in current use are given, with bibliographic citations, data from specimen labels, and locality information from original descriptions. A history of the specimens is also given.In the herbarium of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (PH), on permanent loan from the American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia, is a collection of twenty-seven plant specimens, collected by John White (I756?-832) in New South Wales, Australia, between 1788 and I795. They appear to be type material, and have been placed in the type collection, but whether they are holotypes or isotypes must be determined by specialists familiar with White specimens from other herbaria. In addition to the White specimens in Philadelphia, there are some in the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University (GH) (E. A. Shaw, pers. comm.). Others are in the J. E. Smith Herbarium, Linnean Society of London (LINN) and in the Delessert Herbarium, Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques, Geneva (G). White was only the fifth European collector of note in Australia (including Tasmania) and only the third in New South Wales.The twenty-seven White specimens were part of the herbarium of Benjamin Smith Barton (I766-1815); they passed to the American Philosophical Society on his death and were deposited in the herbarium of the Academy of Natural Sciences in 1897. According to Pennell, these specimens were found ca. 1949, in a package marked "Barton's Herbarium", each specimen with a label bearing the name of the species and in some instances a reference to illustrations in "Sm Bot of N. Holld" (Smith, 1793).

Summary Sixteen plant specimens collected in Australia by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière, naturalist on the voyage of d'Entrecasteaux, 1791‐1794, and eight other Australian specimens possibly collected by Labillardière are listed. Their original names and names in current use are given, with bibliographic citations, data from specimen labels, identification of handwriting on these labels, and locality information from original descriptions. A history of the specimens is given.

Their original names and names in current use are given, with bibliographic citations, data from specimen labels, identification of handwriting on these labels, and locality information from original descriptions. A history of the specimens is given.In the herbarium of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (PH) are sixteen plant specimens, collected in Tasmania and Western Australia by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardiere (I755-I834), plus eight other Tasmanian specimens probably collected by him, but with insufficient label information to ascertain this. All but two of the sixteen specimens definitely collected by Labillardiere appear to be isotypes, and are in the type collection; five of those probably collected by Labillardiere may also be isotypes, and have also been put in the type collection. The apparent holotypes of the Labillardiere specimens represented by all of the above specimens are in the Webb Herbarium, Herbarium Universitatis Florentinae, Firenze (FI), and have been seen there by the author. Labillardiere collections of species described by other botanists and which are represented at PH have also been seen at FI.
