Transcription
The Jardin du Roi has tasked Fagon with collecting information on the cultivation and commerce of plants, particularly in Japan and China. Guy-Crescent Fagon (1638-1718) was the physician of Louis XIV of France. He was made an honorary member of the Academie des sciences in 1669 and ran the Jardin du Roi until his death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-Crescent_Fagon).
