Between 1836 and 1841 the Scottish botanist George Gardner travelled from Rio de Janeiro and the Organ Mountains north through Bahia, Pernambuco, Alagoas and Ceará, then into the gold and diamond districts of the interior. He records plants, landscapes, towns, mines and the people he met, with a naturalist’s eye for detail.
