PREFACE. 



The papers contained in this volume originally appeared, like 

 their predecessors, in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 

 For the convenience of Botanists, separate copies of each of these 

 papers were printed off as it appeared, and these form a volume 

 dealing with the Gamopetalce as its predecessors dealt respectively 

 with Thalamiflorce, Disciflorce and Calyciflorce. Each page of the 

 volume bears two numbers. The one at the top of the page is 

 that of the volume of the Journal in which the paper originally 

 appeared. This number is not referred to in the Index, but it is 

 the one which ought to be used by any one quoting this work. 

 The numbers at the bottom of the pages {xvhich run contifiuously) are 

 those used in the index.

It may be useful to repeat that, throughout this work, the length 

 given for a leaf is that of the blade only, the measurements of the 

 petiole (if any) being given separately ; and that the breadth given 

 for a leaf is that of its broadest part.
