Summary Flora Fluminensis was written by Fra J. M. da C. Vellozo at the end of the 18th century but it was published only later, after the author's death. In 1825 three fourths of the text was printed, up to Sabbata romana , p. 1‐352, but it remained stored in the Typographia Nacional for four years. The sale of this incomplete text began on a date in 1829 that is difficult to determine precisely. Perhaps because the text remained unfinished, distribution was interrupted between 1832 and 1833, but it was reinitiated in 1834. By 1838 the book was almost out of print. The complete text was published in 1881, as a second edition. The effective date of Vellozo's species described in the first unfinished edition lies between September 7 and November 28, 1829.
