66 LIST OF ALPINE PLANTS. 



The works of Loudon, and other Horticultural 

 writers, afford much useful information on this and 

 kindred subjects. 



It is desirable, that the nomenclature of these 

 plants be carefully attended to, as there is other-

With the view of assisting collectors, I hope the 

 following lists of Alpines, and other Plants, whose 

 cultivation is the subject of the preceding Treatise, 

 will prove serviceable in the arrangement of collec-

TJie~ Botanical synonymes, which are circumflexed, 

 ha|^3g|fe been given in a few instances ; but ample 

 infor^^^^pn this subject, as well as regarding the 

 colour, ^^^gjit, and habitats, of the different Plants 

 enumerated^ may be gleaned from Botanical Works. 



Where the Plants have popular English names, 

 these are added in Italics. 



The following Lists comprise Four Classes of 

 Plants, viz. : 



I. ALPINE-PLANTS, or those which may be con- 

 fined to the Rock-work; and tender sorts, requiring 

 more or less frame protection. 



II. MARSH or BOG-PLANTS, for the artificial Bog 

 at the end of the Pond, or the dampest spots among 

 the stones. 



III. AQUATICS, or Plants which will thrive success-
