Page vii., for Mr. William Hunt and Mr. E. Hunt, read Mr. John and Mr, 

 George Edward. 



" 11, line 2, for " perfoliate" read " connate." It is the stem that is perfoliate^ 



" 17, " 5, add Fig. 28. 



" 17, " 8 from bottom, for "/ic^jrtf icrt" read "stmjo&en-;/." 



" 20. Veining of leaves. The feather-veined, fan-veined, and ribbed leaves 

 are varieties of the net-veined, the interstices or spaces being filled up 

 with minute net work. There arc only three absolutely difterent 

 kinds of veining, viz : — -Ist, the netted, including the feather-veined, 

 fan-veined, and ribbed, as well as the more visual condition, where the 

 veins are irregularly distributed ; 2nd, the parallel-veined, nearly con- 

 fined to Endogenous plants ; and 3rd, the forked-veined, found only in 

 ferns and the Salisburia. 



" 32, line 21. The daisy is one of the family it gives name to, in which the 

 calyx is exceptionally absent. 



" 37, line 11, for " Hydrangea " read " Gornus Suecica." 



" 45, " 1-1 from bottom. Some famihes classed as " Petaloid Endogens " 

 have incomplete flowers. See pp. 408 — 413, and 418. 



" 57. Regular and irregular corollas. Certain irregular flowers approach so 

 very nearly to the regular form (as happens in the scarlet verbena), 

 that they might be mistaken for such. The point may be settled by 

 examination of the stamens, which in truly regular flowers always bear 

 an exact numerical relation to the petals or lobes of the corolla, and 

 are also perfectly constant in their own numbers. The Verbena, with 

 a five-lobed and apparently regular corolla, has only four stamens, t^o 

 of which are long and two short ; and the Gloxinia, also five-lobed and 

 apparently regulai-, is found both with fouretameus and with five. 



*• 04, lino 3, omit "jyetals united." 



" 04, line 8 from bottom, for "style and stigmas tivo to five" read "styles 

 two to five, or else five sessile stigmas."
