NOTE 21 



NOTE 



The plants described in the following pages are arranged in the 

 systematic order of modern botany, and are grouped in families. 

 When several species of a genus are described, generic character- 

 istics are given in the description of the first species, and are 

 not repeated, as, unless otherwise stated, they are the same in 

 the other species. 



The flowering season given of plants that grow also in other 

 states applies only to Florida. 



Cultivated plants, common in Florida gardens, that are related 

 to the native flora are mentioned, as much knowledge of botany 

 may be gained by close observation of garden plants. 



A plant is sometimes known by different botanical names. 

 A number of these synonyms are given in this book.
