- Abstract
A transcription and a critical review on Aimé Bonpland´s scarcely known manuscripts dealing with the geographical distribution of wild "yerba mate" (Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil., Aquifoliaceae) trees in South America is presented here. Among other data, Bonpland´s assumptions on the occurrence of wild "yerba mate" individuals within present day Uruguayan boundaries are matched with modern voucher specimens of this species collected in Uruguay, and also with miscellaneous bibliographical sources, including details from later reports from Bonpland himself, and also from other contemporary naturalists who travelled through this country in the 1820´s and 1830´s, as well as with phytogeographical information. As a conclusion, it is supposed that these Bonpland´s notes, written during his early years of residence at the Río de La Plata basin, contain mistaken information that the same botanist did not report again, as his knowledge of the Argentinian Delta, the Uruguayan environment and the 'yerba mate" got deeper.
