LIST OF FLOWERS 



CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO THEIR HABITATS AND HABITS 



The following list of wild flowers, classified according to their habits 

 and princijml habitats, will assist the student in his attempts to identify 

 unknown species. A general acquaintance with the chief distinguishing 

 features of the orders, or, failing this, a frequent reference to these 

 features as given in Chapter I, will be a valuable help ; and, the order 

 once determined, the few particulars added to each name will generally 

 narrow the search down to one or two species, leaving the final decision 

 to the more detailed descrijition given in the text. 



The first number given after each name is the height, or, in the 

 case of climbing and trailing species, the length of the plant ; and 

 this is followed by the colour and diameter of the flower, or, in the 

 case of the Dipsacece, Composite, and some other plants in which the 

 flowers are densely clustered, the diameter of the cluster or head. 



Abbreviations are used as follows : — ■ 



A combination of two of the above denotes an intermediate colour. 

 Thus — G.Y. denotes a greenish yellow ; Pu. Br., a purple-brown, &c. 



L Woods and Thickets — Spring (Herbaceous Plants).
