“…Presumably Forster and Valltravers had a relationship, but neither Hoare nor de Beer mention it. Valltravers had significant rapport with the Universiteit Leiden (van Strien 2000: 6–10), and it is therefore possible this folio passed directly from him to the institution's library. The title-leaf rubber stamps stand for ‘Academia Lugduno Batava’, the Latin name of the Universiteit Leiden that owns this copy.…”

The Characteres Generum Plantarum of Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster was the principal printed botanical work emanating from James Cook's second voyage of 1772–1775. The printing most frequently encountered is a 31.2 cm quarto dated 1776 that was probably run off in several hundred copies. A single 1775 quarto was recently discovered. Also produced was a well-known but very rare 47.5 cm folio. In this first-ever census of folio copies, two dated 1775 and 14 dated 1776 are verified; their locations, descriptions, and provenances are detailed herein.
