PEEFACE TO THE FIKST EDITION. 



THE Illustrated Edition of Mr. Bentham's " Handbook of 

 the British Flora " being exhausted, the wood-engravings 

 of that work are here reproduced as an Illustrated Com^ 

 panion to the "Handbook" and other British Floras. 

 The cuts are arranged according to the last Edition of the 

 " Handbook," and new cuts of the species admitted in 

 recent Editions are added. To facilitate reference from 

 other Floras, where the nomenclature differs from that 

 of the "Handbook," synonyms, in italics, are incor- 

 porated in the Index. In this volume and the " Hand- 

 book " combined, Students will have, in a more convenient 

 and portable form, all that the Illustrated Edition con- 

 tained, at little more than one-third the cost.
