162 PLANTS FLOWEEING IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 1882. 



Cornus Mas (18). Scilla sibirica (34). Daphne Mezereum (25). 

 The Laurustinus began to flower as early as Nov. 20, and the 

 Pijrus japonica as early as Nov. 23, both keeping well m flower up 

 to the present time. 



It is curious that the Sweet Violet and Coltsfoot {Tussilago 

 FarfaraY^ do not appear among the January flowers this year. 

 They are generally very early. 



I have added a similar table for February, as there are several 

 additions ; besides the species which came into flower, some others 

 were found which probably had been vigorous in January, but had 

 escaped notice.
