Summary Forty‐three vascular plant specimens were found recently at the National Herbarium of Canada that were collected by Sir Joseph Banks on his voyage to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766. A list of these specimens is presented together with a discussion of the relationship that they bear to collections at the British Museum (Natural History) in London as well as information contained in Banks's personal diary and plant catalogue.
