Where the tabular lines occur, the species whose details they contain are additional to those in Loudon's I16r- 

 tits Jiriltinnicus. . . ,.,.,...,., , ., ., 



Occasionally a species may be reiieated for the sake of exhibitin;; its details more accurately than they arc 

 exliil)it«rin the Uoitus liiildnnicm. Such species will have a <l.igger (+) prelixed to them. 



To the genera new to tlie llmtus lirUdnniciis a star (•) will be prefixed. 



The books cited in italics in the column for " references to figures " are quoted for description or incidental 

 notices ; these being the best substitutes for figures or perfect descriptions, until figures or perfect descrip- 

 tions arc ])ublished. 



The dates introduced after hybrids are those at which they were raised from the hybridised seeds, as nearly 

 as these dates ran be ascertained. ,.,.„. ^ . , ^. 



The numbers prefixed to the orders are those they bear in Lindley s Inlrodiiction to the Natural Si/stem. 



Where blanks occur in the place of specific names, they will proceed from this cause : I'rofessor Lindley deter, 

 mines to figure showy hybrids and garden varieties, but neither to give them a Latin sp<>cifir epithet nor 

 discriminative description, nor to st.ite their relative place in systematic anangcments. Carton's rhododen- 

 dron flow's lobelia, and Young's calceolaria are three instances ; but to the latter two the ei>ithcts in use in 

 the nurseries are applied below.

 habitation ; |>arasite» grow into, and absorb their nutriment from, the plants which bear tlu-m : epiphytes are 

 nuinenms within the tropics, parasites are few everywhere, and, in Britain, limited to Tlscum ^ilbum, Cdsrvta 

 piiropie\i, ciisciita /•."pitlivmum, Lathr!c\T Smuimikria, the species of Orobanche, and many species of /"iingus ; 

 perhaps Monoiropa Hyp/ipitvs, and a few other plants. J. E. Bowman, in late researches among the British 

 parasitic plants, has seen cause to believe that Nc6ttia nidus ilvis is not parasitic. — J.D.
