The success of the First Edition of the "Clydesdale Flora" 

 has rendered a second necessary. This success may, in a great 

 measure, be attributed to the aid so generously accorded by the 

 Friends of Botanical Science whose names have been mentioned 

 in the Introduction. 



This Edition has been carefully revised, and a few changes 

 introduced, among which, at the suggestion of Mr. J. G. BAKEK, 

 of Kew, the Roses have been rearranged, bringing this genus 

 more in accordance with modern views: he has also kindly gone 

 over and named from specimens sent to him the varieties found 

 in the locality; others will no doubt be added as observation 

 becomes extended, and the district more thoroughly examined.

The continued progress of a taste for Botanical pursuits among 

 the young men of Glasgow has rendered a Third Edition of the 

 "Clydesdale Flora" a necessity. 



Many additions, alterations, and amendments have been intro- 

 duced, which will enable the student to look with a more critical 

 eye upon several species and their varieties. Mr. J. G. BAKER, 

 of Kew, has in the kindest manner communicated several inter- 

 esting notes upon the plants of Arran, which have been embodied 

 in the present Edition.
