* Geographical Areas.—On the whole, in the present state of 
botanical knowledge, the best course appears to be that of 
simply enumerating such of these eighteen Sections of the 
earth’s surface, in which the species has been recorded to 
grow wild; the authorities for the fact being usually omitted, 
in order to keep down the bulk of the volume. To those sec- 
tions, from which I happen to possess specimens in my her- 
barium, the names of the collectors or donors of the specimens 
are added, with the note of certainty “!”. And in some other 
instances, more particularly where there is a want of certainty, 
an authority is likewise given, by way of clew towards confir- 
mation or correction.
