Abstract
The journal Broteria has covered a long path, since its foundation in 1902 until the mid 20's, when it stands as one of the best journals of natural history and a voice of the renewal of the natural sciences in Portugal. Broteria's success was due, mainly, to the remarkable qualities of its founders and main editors: their working capacity, intellectual standards and perseverance as well as the ability to establish a network of naturalists who sent them biological collections from remote regions and the ability to adapt to exile, while continuing to work and focusing their studies on the natural history of the exile country. The maintenance, in regular functioning, of their schools, and the opening to the collaboration of non Jesuit naturalists, such as the botanists from Oporto, also contributed to the success of Broteria.

Summary
El final del siglo XVIII-inicios del XIX, fue un período áureo para el estudio de la flora portuguesa, con la labor de dos personajes excepcionales: Felix de Avellar Brotero (1744-1828)[1] y Heinrich Friedrich Link[2]. Sampaio le había enviado antes de partir al Colegio de Torres Vedras y le escribe dos días después, devolviéndole los pliegos, unos identificados y otros no, y pidiéndole para recoger un musgo particular:. Los envíos de plantas de Luisier y Tavares a Sampaio se centran, frecuentemente, en determinadas especies que estaban siendo revisadas éste. Sampaio examina los ejemplares de los herbarios portugueses y le pide a Tavares que le envíe los pliegos existentes en el Herbario del Colegio de S. Tavares no solamente accede al pedido de Sampaio, sino que intentará recoger más plantas de esto género en las cercanías del Colegio. Probablemente para aclarar algunas dudas relativas a la taxonomía del género Ulex, Sampaio pidió prestados a Luisier los pliegos de esto género conservados en los herbarios de los colegios jesuitas.
