NEW GARDEN PLANTS OE THE YEAR 190L 



The number of garden plants annually described in botanical 

 and horticultural publications, both English and foreign, is now 

 so considerable that it has been thought desirable to publish a 

 complete list of them in the Kew Bulletin each year. The 

 following list comprises all the new introductions recorded during 

 1901. These lists are indispensable to the maintenance of a 

 correct nomenclature, especially in the smaller botanical estab- 

 lishments in correspondence with Kew, which are, as a rule, 

 only scantily provided with horticultural periodicals. Such a 

 list will also afford information respecting new plants under 

 cultivation at this establishment, many of which will be distri- 

 buted from it in the regular course of exchange with other 

 botanic gardens. 



The present list includes not only plants brought into cultivation 

 for the first time during 1901, but the most noteworthy of those 

 which have been re-introduced after being lost from cultivation. 

 Other plants included in the list may have been in gardens for 

 several years, but either were not described or their names had 

 not been authenticated until recently. 



In addition to species and well-marked varieties, hybrids 

 whether introduced or of garden origin, have been included 

 where they have been described with formal botanical nanu-s. 

 Mere cultural forms of well-known garden plants are oiiiiitt'l. 



In every case the plant is cited under its published r 

 although some of the names are doubl fully correct. \ 

 however, a correction has appeared desirable, this is n.yde. 



The name of the person in whose collect! 

 noticed or described is given where known.
