Page 233 of Nicolaas Burman's 1768 Flora Indica. The plant figured on top is described as Polypodium spinulosum, a fern from Java. It has since been shown to be the species now known as Synaphea spinulosa, a south west Western Australian endemic. It is thought that the specimen must have been collected during Willem de Vlamingh's 1696 voyage to the Swan River. This image therefore bears witness to the first known scientific collection of plant specimen material from Western Australia, though neither the first to be formally published, nor the first to be illustrated.
