x FEATURES OF THE GARDEN. 
From the Eastern Corridor two houses project to the south—one 
occupied by Plants of Dry Regions (G), the other containing 
Economic Plants of both Tropical and Temperate Regions (H). 
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 (K) 
and one for Plants of Tropical and Warm Regions (L). The 
house at the western end of the Corridor is another of the old 
plant-houses to which visitors are not admitted. Behind the 
western end of the Front Range there is a Temperate House for 
Palms, Tree-Ferns and Conifer (P), and a Palm-House (Q). 
Between these and the Front Range at its western end is a suite 
of houses of which one is devoted to monocotylous Plants 
of Tropical and Warm Regions, specially Aroids, Scitaminee, 
Liliacee, and Amaryllidacee (M); Pitcher Plants are also 
provided for in this house; another contains Bromeliads (N) ; 
and a third is used for plants requiring warm, temperate environ- 
ment (O). The central Heating Station (R) for the Plant- 
houses lies behind the Front Range. 
Adjoining the Entrance from Inverleith Row is a group of 
buildings including the Office of the Garden (A), the Museum 
(B), the Laboratories (C), and the Lecture Hall (D). 
The Museum contains a series of exhibits illustrating the 
form and life-history of plants, and these are arranged so as to 
facilitate their use in teaching. 
Herbarium and Library.—In the southern portion of the 
Garden is the Herbarium and Library (T). It contains a fair 
representation of the Floras of the world, and the herbarium of 
plants belonging to the University of Edinburgh is deposited 
here. 
The Ladies’ Cloak-Room is at present on the left hand of the 
path leading into the Garden from the Entrance from Inverleith 
Row (E). A new one will be erected shortly at (F), and a 
Gentlemen’s Lavatory will be placed then at (E). 
From the higher ground of the Arboretum—at the point marked 
(W) on the plan—a fine panoramic view of the City of Edinburgh, 
flanked on the east by Arthur’s Seat, and on the west by the 
Pentland Hills, is obtained.
