literature:

(1) cf. Ann. Sci. Nat. sér. 3, vol. 13, 1849, p. 289.
(2) La Place: ‘Voyage autour du monde par les mers de l’Inde et de Chine exécuté sur la corvette de l’état la Favorite, pendant les Années 1830, 1831, et 1832 publié par ordre de M. le Vice Amiral Comte de Rigny ministre de la Marine et Colonies’ (Paris 1833-35, 4 vols).
Also in Ann. Marit. et Colon. 1831 and 1832.
(3) It is quite possible that some of his plants (from Anambas and Malacca) originating from this expedition, were dealt with by J. Decaisne in ‘Voyage autour du monde sur la frégate la Vénus, Cdt. Abel du Petit Thouars, pendant les années 1836-39. Botanique.’ (tome 5², 1864 (probably a printer's error for 1846) + atlas, 1846). The ‘Vénus’ itself never was in the mentioned localities.
Radlkofer in his ‘Sapindaceae Holl. Ind.’ (Extr. Act. Congr. Internat. Bot. etc. Amsterdam 1877, 1878, p. 89) refers to Guioa pleuropteris collected by Baume in Anambas & Natoena Islands in 1832; this rightly should be 1831.
(4) cf. Plant list in Arch. Herb. (Phanérog.) Paris. It includes 2 nos from Malacca Strait, 133 from Luzon, 5 from Singapore (incl. 2 ferns), 34 from P. Sedanau and 38 from Siantan + ferns.
(5) A MS. description of the Anambas and Natoena Islands in Arch. Herb. (Phanérog.) Paris too.
