APPENDIX. 



Such is the vast field of botanical researches 

 and reforms, that these series of revised trees 

 and shrubs although amounting to lOOO articles, 

 are but fragments of what might be done and is 

 jet required before the Sylvan forms be proper- 

 ly fixed and named. I have found the subject 

 expanding as I proceeded, and been compelled 

 to leave untouched many perplexing Genera and 

 families. For instance the Palms, Ericoides, 

 Smilaxides,arborescent Grasses and many othefrs, 

 some of which I hope will soon be better settled 

 by Decandole or Endhcher. But unfortunately 

 all the laboring Botanists appear as yet to follow 

 the absurd principle, so well pointed out by Dr. 

 Buchanan o^ squeezing species into alien Gen- 

 era. The whole of this work and my other late 

 works are sufficient comments on this unwar- 

 rantable practice, that is the disgrace of Botany, 

 preventing the science from making the needful 

 rapid progress towards accuracy and perfection.
