xX FEATURES OF THE GARDEN. 
Economic Plants of both Tropical and Temperate Regions (G). 
The House terminating the Eastern end of this Corridor is one of 
the old and decayed plant-houses, to which visitors are not 
admitted pending its reconstruction. To the south side of the 
Western Corridor are attached two houses—one for Orchids (J) 
and one for Plants of Tropical and Warm Regions (K). The 
house at the western end of the Corridor is one of the old plant- 
houses, and is temporarily, and until reconstruction, filled with 
Tropical Ferns (L), and opening from it is a small house for 
Filmy Ferns. Behind the western end of the Front Range there 
is a Temperate House for Palms, Tree-Ferns, and Coniferz (O), 
and a Palm-House (P). Between these and the Front Range 
at its western end is a suite of houses (now hearing com- 
pletion) which will be devoted to Monocotyledonous Plants of 
Tropical and Warm Regions, specially Aroids, Scitaminez, Brom- 
eliads, Liliaceze, and Amaryllidacez ; Pitcher Plants are also 
provided for in one of these houses (M, N). The central Heating 
Station (Q) for the Plant-houses lies behind the Front Range.

buildings including the Office of the Garden (A), the Museum 
(B), the Laboratories (C), and the Lecture Hall ( D).

form and life-history of plants, and these are arranged so as to 
facilitate their use in teaching,
