- Summary expansion
- Johann Forster, the chief naturalist of the expedition, and his son, Georg, collected specimens, which Georg then illustrated. The Swedish naturalist, Dr. Anders Sparrman, whom the Forsters had hired during the voyage at the Cape of Good Hope, prepared the descriptive text. The work, which was first published in a folio edition of eight copies in 1775, and then in both a quarto and folio edition in 1776, lists the Forster's botanical discoveries according to the Linnean classification system
