PREFACE 
T has been thought proper, in order that this 
work may not be fwelled with unneceflary fy- 
nonyms, that the plants defcribed in the Species 
Plantarum and the two Mantiffa’s of the elder 
Linnzus, fhould fimply be referred to thofe books, 
with the addition only of references to the works 
of Jacquin, Curtis; L’Heritier, and the Flora 
-Roffica. 
The Supplemientum Plantarum of the younger 
Linnzeus was not publifhed till great progrefs had 
been made in compiling this Catalogue ; plants _ 
that were inferted in it before the time of that pub- 
lication, will therefore frequently be found to have 
the fame fynonyms as are given in it; all that have 
been added fince are referred to it in the fame 
manner as others are to the works of the Father ; but 
errors which too frequently occur in the Son’s publi- 
cation, are, wherever they haye been ——— 
Sorrected, .
