What the .... is a Quire .. Science Scrapbooking

After my post https://steemit.com/history/@jagged/captain-cook-how-botany-bay-was-almost-called-sting-ray-harbour

I was like, what is a Quire?

Obviously, they stored botanical samples in them.

As the botanist, and very motivated individual, Joseph Bank's, states

"I therefore devoted this day to that business and carried all the drying paper, near 200 Quires of which the larger part was full,"

200 Quires!!

According to the internet dictionary,
quire1
/kwaɪə/
noun

a set of 24 or 25 sheets of paper; a twentieth of a ream

four sheets of paper folded once to form a section of 16 pages
a section or gathering

a set of all the sheets in a book
Word Origin
C15 quayer, from Old French quaier, from Latin quaternī four at a time, from quater four times
from Latin quaterni ‘set of four’

So, I am guessing, a sort of scrap book., where the samples of plants are pressed for posterity.
Or I guess, a pamphlet style.
