EXPLANATION. 



The following Arrangement has been made according 

 to the Classes to which the different plants belong in the 

 Linnaean System, which method has been considered as 

 more satisfactory to the Botanist than that of placing the 

 different Genera in alphabetical order. 



The first name is that of the Genus, the second that 

 of the Species, after which will be found the most common 

 English name of the plant, with its general habitat, or 

 place of growth -, and when any particular place is speci- 

 fied, the name of the person who has there observed it, is 

 commonly annexed. 



Observations respecting the peculiarities or the virtues 

 of some plants are contained in notes at the bottom of 

 the page j which notes have been selected chiefly from 

 " An Arrangement of British Plants/' by William Wither- 

 ing, Esq. F.L.S.
