From the description he gave of it, and from an imperfect view which occurred to Mr.Banks, the latter gentleman was of opinion that its species was hitherto unknown.
The position of the vessel, while she was refitting for sea, was very near depriving the world of that botanical knowledge, which Mr.Banks had procured at the expense of so much labour, and such various perils.

For the greater security of the curious collection of plants which he had made during the whole voyage, he had removed them into the bread room.

This room is in the after part of the ship, the head of which, for the purpose of repairing her, was laid much higher than the stern.

No one having thought of the danger to which this circumstance might expose the plants, they were found to be under water.

However, by the exercise of unremitting care and attention, the larger part of them were restored to a state of preservation.
