dolle's Prodromus.

on Indian plants, in Rees’ Cyclopedia. 
Sonn. voy. Ind.—Voyages aux Indes Orientales et à la Chine, by Pierre Sox- 
NERAT. 
Spr.— Professor Srrencet: we principally refer to his Systema Vegetabilium

quote, is the Institutiones rei Herbariee. 
Vahl, Professor Martin Vanr: we refer frequently to his Symbole Botanicze 
(symb.), and to his Enumeratio Plantarum (enwm.): we occasionally al- 
so have had to consult his papers in the Skrifter af Naturhistorie-Selska- 
bet of Copenhagen. The sixth volume of this last work is very scarce, 
and of great value as to Indian plants ; Dr Hooker's copy is the only one 
which we have seen ; none of the French or German naturalists appear 
ever to have met with it.

ta: we have already mentioned his works; those we refer to are his

Willd.—Professor Christ. Lud. WiurpENow of Berlin. The Linnsi Species | T 
Plantarum (sp.), and Enumeratio Plantarum horti Berolensis (enum.), 7 
are almost the only works which we have had occasion to quote. : 
! after an author's name, denotes that we have authenticated the synonym — 
by an inspection, either of the specimen described or of one — from. 
the same source. B 
+ before the name of a species, indicates that it is involved in obscurity.
