[N.B. The classification given by Bentham and Hooker, in 

 their 'Genera Plantarum,' is the one now accepted. Gray's 

 Manual describes the plants east of the Mississippi and north of 

 Virginia, Chapman's gives those of the Gulf States, and Coulter's, 

 or the Botany of California, the west coast plants. In structural 

 and physiological botany, Sache is recent and exhaustive, Thome 

 is good and smaller, Bessey covers the entire field of plant-life in 

 general. Smee's ' My Garden ' shows how much there is to ob- 

 serve and find out in a very limited area. De Candolle's Pro- 

 dromifs contains, in Latin, a description of all known plants. 

 In cryptogamic botany, the work of Berkeley is scarce but very 

 good, Sachs and Bessey both include cryptogams in their struc- 

 tural books. The older editions of ' Gray's Manual' included both 

 ferns and mosses, but the mosses are left out of the later editions. 

 Cooke's Fungi applies almost as well to the United States as to 

 England. Wolle's books on Desmids and Fresh Water Algae 

 take the place of all others on these subjects for the United 

 States.]
