SCF" With a view to gratify a curiosity, in others, which I always felt myself, I have attempted to give the 

 Etymology, or derivation of the Generic Names, so far as I could ascertain the same. My authorities are 

 chiefly De Theis, Boerhaave, and Rees's Cyclopadia. Not having Greek types at hand, I have used the 

 Italic Y to represent the Greek Upsilon, in all cases where it is rendered by the letter Y, in the formalioa 

 of the derivative name. 



I have also, at the particular request of some of the young cultivators of Botany in this vicinity, annexecl 

 a Glossakv, containing a brief explanation of the principal descriptive terms used iu the Catalogue.
