		Sonnerat, dans sa correspondance, précise sa méthode de recherche pour réunir la documentation utile à ses illustrations.
		Sonnerat a par contre essuyé de nombreuses critiques de spécialistes de l'Inde comme De Guignes, Opsonville ou Anquetil Duperron, néanmoins l'ouvre de Sonnerat qui présente l'Inde comme le "berceau de toutes les civilisations" apparaît comme la naissance de l'indianisme moderne.

	Travel and Exploration
		A naturalist accompanying one such voyage was Pierre Sonnerat (1745-1814).
		During a journey to the Moluccas, Philippines, and neighboring islands taken in 1771-1772, Sonnerat made extensive observations of primitive societies and exotic wildlife, which he subsequently reported in Voyage à la Nouvelle-Guinée.
		The many specimens and curiosities which he brought to the king's cabinet further stimulated the growing interest in the "noble savage," a popular romantic image which persisted well into the nineteenth century.

		This web site is dedicated to the peoples of the Royal Sultanates of Sulu,Ranao Area and Maguindanao, the goal of it is to show the flags and symbols sometimes unknown of these glorious Kingdoms.
		The description of this flag by Pierre Sonnerat on his account of 1774-1781 is apparently in contrast with the description made by Thomas Forrest who in his book talk about a flag with the arms of the Sultan: "the gates of Mecca, red, on a white background."
		We say apparently because Sonnerat described the flag as "white and fl bordered.."but he doesn't say if the Mecca's door was fl or red.

		Tillandsia L. (bromeliad) Elias Tilliander was a student of Linnaeus who was once so "harassed by Neptune" on a trip across the Gulf of Bothnia that he returned home by land (a journey of 2000 miles instead of 200) and changed his name to Tillandz, "by land." The plant cannot tolerate a damp climate.
		It is widely held that French naturalist Pierre Sonnerat mistakenly took the Malagasy exclamation "look there" (or words to that effect) for the common name of the indri (a lemur), but Nick Garbutt in "Mammals of Madagascar" (1999) gives "endrina" as one of the species' native names, and he should probably know.
		Also it has been related that the aye-aye (another Madagascan lemur) was given its name by Sonnerat after he mistook the surprised cries of the villagers for the animal's name, but this is not generally accepted.

		Describe two ways in which this phenomenon might play a role in facilitating first language acquisition.
		A French naturalist, Pierre Sonnerat, is credited with providing the English language with a name for a certain species of lemur, the indri, which is native to Madagascar.

		Mangrove Apple (Sonneratia alba), the plant has been termed as Sonneratia in honour of Pierre Sonnerat (1749-1814), who travelled into New Guinea, the East Indies, and China, and communicated many new plants to the botanists of Europe.

	Plant Trivia Timeline
		1511 Western explorers discovered that the Molucca Islands (the Spice Islands) were the source of cloves. See Root (1980) for detail of intrigue that followed. Eventually [see 1773] one tree planted by Pierre Poivre parented orchards in Madagascar and Zanzibar. These countries nearly provide the world supply today.
		1751 Miller planted tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) seed received from French Jesuit Father, Pierre Nicholas le Cheron d’Incarville, stationed at the mission in Beijing. Once introduced to North America, this tree would escape and become quite common - even invasive. Its popular fame is as the tree that grew in Brooklyn.
		1773 French explorer Pierre Poivre’s plan to take propagation material of spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and fl pepper) from the Dutch controlled Molucca Islands to Mauritius and Reunion succeeded in breaking the Dutch monopoly.
