and to the botanic gardens established by government. This might be done 

 to a great extent, as Mr. Royle has shown, in the mountainous districts of 

 Himalaya, as well as in other hilly and mountainous regions, both of India 

 and China. 



Of that part of the ligneous flora of China which is hardy, very little is known . 

 The following list of some of the ligneous species which inhabit China, and 

 of a few of those which inhabit Japan, has been prepared from these three 

 sources: 1. Enumeratio Plantarum quas in China boreali collegit Dr. Al. 

 Bunge, anno 1831 : this enumeration is published in the Memoires presentcs a 

 r Academic des Sciences de St. Petersbourg, tome ii. livra. 1. et 2., 1833. 2. 

 From Royle's Illustrations, in which a sketch of the climate and plants of China 

 is presented, relatively to comparison with the climate and plants of the 

 Himalaya. 3. From our Hortus Entannicus. The sign (?) denotes, in this 

 list, as well as in the preceding, doubt of hardihood of the species to which 

 it is applied.
