Leatherwood is a small tree or shrub that is semi-evergreen. Lady of the night is a shrub known for its strong fragrance at night.Olof Peter Swartz was a Swedish botanist and taxonomist who studied under Carolus Linnaeus the Younger. In 1783 he sailed for North America and the West Indies where he spent most of his time in Jamaica and Hispaniola collecting botanical specimens. He met Joseph Banks in London c. 1786. He was the first specialist in orchid taxonomy. Swartz said that this book contained only descriptions, observations and corrections on Linnaean West Indian plants and was a supplement to Murray's 1784 edition of Linnaeus's Systema Vegetabilium. The plates were engraved from drawings made by Swartz in the West Indies.
