Tue purchafers of the BoranrcaL MaGazine have indeed fome 
right to complain of the length of time that has intervened between the 
completion of the twentieth volume and the publication of thefe Indexes. 
Many circum{tances have combined. to occafion this delay, but the 
principal caufe has been an intention on the part of the Editor to have 
given a review of the whole work, with a critical examination of 
what has been faid on the fame plants in the foreign publications which 
have either appeared fince or had not fallen under his or his prede- 
ceffor’s notice, foon enough to be confidered at the time their account 
of the different plants was written ; his avocations have not however 
allowed him the leifure neceffary to the completion of fuch a defign, 
and it has been at laft reluctantly relinquifhed. In the Enumeration 
indeed will be found fome additions made to feveral of the articles 
and fome corre€tions of errors and changes of-the names, which the 
advancement of fcience appeared to render neceflary ; the perufal of 
this part will fhew in fome meafure what was wifhed to have been 
done, and as the Editor may at a future time reaflume his former in- 
tentions, he will be greatly obliged to his Botanical readers for their 
remarks and criticifms upon any of the articles that have been already 
or fhall hereatter be publifhed. 
Poffeffors of rare or curious plants, which they may be defirous of 
feeing figured in the Botanical Magazine, may generally have their 
wifhes gratified, if fuch plants are fent when coming into flower (or 
good fpecimens in a ftate fit for drawing) to Dr. Sims, 67, Upper 
Guilford-Street, free of Expence. When drawn and defcribed, the 
plants will be returned to the owner’s order, and if neceffary will be 
in the mean time preferved in a ftove. 
(=r In the Latin Index, the names printed in Italics are Synonyms.
