the plants is that many of the ** campo " j^lants stand closer to Bur- 

 chell's specimens than to the Martian types. As Burchell's plants were 

 not examined for the Flora Brasiliensis they are mainly included 

 under the species named there. I prefer to follow the Flora for the 

 present rather than to separate m}^ specimens as new while Burchell's 

 remain un worked. 



The plants were identified partly at Edinburgh and partly at Kew, 

 and I desire to express my thanks to the Kegius Keeper of the Royal 

 Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, and to the Director of the Jioyal Gardens, 

 Kew, for facilities afforded me during the process of identifi.cation. 

 Much valuable assistance was given me at Kew by Mr. M. B. Scott ; 

 and Mr. W. G. Craib, at Kew and more recently as my colleague in 

 Edniburgh has given ungrudgingly of his time and special knowledge 

 during tlie preparation of the list. The orchids were named by 

 Mr. R. A. Rolfe. 



The nomenclature for the flowering plants is that of Martius's 

 Flora Brasiliensis ; the ferns are named according to Christensen's 

 Index Filicum. A complete set of the specimens is in the Herbarium 

 of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. E. = Estado (state).
