Transcription
Tournefort sends Sloane a book and a first proof sheet of his upcoming publication. He asks for a catalogue of Sloane’s Jamaican plants. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist who developed the idea of taxonomically organizing plants according to the concept of genus. He published the famous Elements de botanique (1694) and travelled the Mediterranean and Caucuses to research their flora from 1700 to 1702 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pitton_de_Tournefort).
