NEW GARDEN PLANTS OF THE YEAR 1906. 



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 

 1900. 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 1906, 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 bee n mclrn e d 

 where they have been described with formal 1 xrtanica 1 names. 

 Mere cultural forms of well-known garden plants are omitted, 

 for obvious reasons. , , . , . 



In everv case the plant is cited under its published name, 



oul t? J If thpnimes are doubtfully correct. ^h*re, 



although some of tne names <"° ". , .£. •_ mn .i P 

 however, a correction has appeared desirable, this is made. 



The name of the person in whose collection the plant was first 



noticed or described is given where known.
