and to the botanic gardens established by government. This might be done

Of that part of the ligneous flora of China which is hardy, very little is known. 

 The following list of some of the ligneous species which inhabit China, and 

 of a few of those which inhabit Japan, has been prepared from these three 

 sources: — 1. Enumeratio Plantarum quas in China boreali collegit Dr. Al. 

 Bunge, anno 1831 : this enumeration is published in the Memolres prcsentes a 

 V Academic des Sciences de St. Fetersbourg, tome ii. livra. 1. et 2., 1833. 2. 

 From Royle's Illustrations, in which a sketch of the climate and plants of China 

 is presented, relatively to comparison with the climate and plants ot the 

 Himalaya. 3. From our Hortiis Britnnnicus. The sign (?) denotes, in this 

 list, as well as in the preceding, doubt of hardihood of the species to which 

 it is applied.
