Bartram writes in his Travels of how he spent the day collecting specimens near Long
Pond, Levy Coun ty “some of which appeared new to me”. Amongst these was the
Gerardia that he describes in his description of Specimens to Fothergill as a
“singular beautiful species” . In the same book of specimens Bartram writes that the
Willow Primrose “Grows in marshes on large Rivers near the Sea Coast, the leaves of
a light green, the flowers large and Yellow, extremely transient and soon disappear
after the sun shines upon them”.
