And there they were: this banksia, collected by Banks and Solander, which Brown had then carried as part of his herbarium on the Investigator; that eucalypt, collected by Banks and Solander, its huge leaves fading towards the buff colour of its papers. Standing in London in 1900, his first visit to a place that no longer felt like ‘home’, Maiden thought that it was time for some of these specimens to use ‘the return half of their ticket’ back to Australia. ‘I will give you a few with pleasure when we distribute them,’ the keeper replied.
Five years later, in March 1905, a large parcel – ‘a set of 586 species … of Australian plants collected … in 1770’ – was delivered to Sydney. Working his way through them, Maiden confessed to feeling ‘quite small as I contemplated the remains of an insect which had spun a cocoon nearly a century before I was born’. ”’ He could even imagine the contemplative Solander,‘sitting on a rock or on a fallen tree, busy with a lens examining the few plants that he collected with his own hands, and scrutinising the bunches and bundles … brought in by the emissaries …’ Now, after 135 years, Maiden was welcoming these broken-off fragments of plant (nothing neatly cut, he noticed) back to their own part of the world.
