APPENDIX II. 



BOOKS USEFUL FOR THE STUDY 

 OF THE FLORA. 



FOR the ordinal characters of the non-British plants 

 I have used Le Maout and Decaisne's " Descrip- 

 tive and Analytical Botany," translated and edited 

 by Sir Joseph Hooker. The book is full of valuable 

 illustrations. 



For generic and specific characters it is necessary 

 to refer to some French or Italian Flora. Grenier and 

 Godron's " Flore de France " is spoken of as a really 

 good book, but rare and expensive. I have used the 

 " Nouvelle Flore Fran9aise " by Gillet et Magne, a 

 smaller cheaper book. It has a number of illustra- 

 tions, and will be found useful for reference, but I 

 dislike the key system as applied to botany. 



Ardoino's " Flore du Departement des Alpes 

 Maritimes " is a,n inaccurate and disappointing book. 

 Nevertheless it is indispensable, until some botanist 

 provides us with a Flora of Liguria. 



Arangeli's " Flora Italiana " is said to be even 

 less satisfactory than Ardoino. 



Ricca's little " Flora of Diano Marina " is " very 

 well and accurately done." 



Burnat's " Flore des Alpes Maritimes " is a 

 catalogue with localities. I possess two volumes of
