DESCRIBED GENERA AND THEIR AUTHORS. 
KE order to prevent, as far as possible, any misconception as to the identity of 
garden plants, &c., a list of all the Genera described in this work, with their Authors, 
is here presented. The frequent duplication in botanical nomenclature will be noticed 
by any reader who has the Dictionary or GARDENING in frequent use — e.g., 
Reinwardtias of Dumortier, 
Linnæus, jun., 
Blume, 
the 
and Korthals, and the Renealmias of Linnaeus, 
Houttuyn, and R. Brown — and to many amateur gardeners who are 
anxious to acquire a knowledge of Systematic Botany, this becomes a source of no little 
confusion. 
Bentham and Hooker’s “Genera Plantarum” has, for the most part, been taken as 
p 
the standard of generic limitation in the compilation of this work, at least, so far as 
Phanerogamous Plants are concerned : in the Ferns, Hooker and Baker’s “ Synopsis Filicum” 
been followed. In several instances, however, it has been thought desirable, for ` 
horticultural purposes, to place certain sections of genera under separate headings; 
e.g., Amygdalus, Azalea, and Ligularia, are included, by Bentham and Hooker, under 
Prunus, Rhododendron, and Senecio, respectively, but in this work they have been accorded 
has 
generic rank.
