xii FEATURES OF THE GARDEN. 
(A) occupied by Plants of Dry Regions, the other (B) containing 
Economic Plants of both Tropical and Temperate Regions. To 
the south side of the Western Corridor are attached two houses 
—one (E) for Orchids and one (F) for Plants of Tropical and 
Warm Regions. The western end of the Corridor opens into a 
domed house (G) for Ferns of Tropical Regions which are planted 
out, and attached to it are two houses running southwards, one 
of which (H) is occupied by Tropical Plants—Pitcher Plants are 
also cultivated in this house—and the other (I) is used as a Heath 
House. From the northern wing of this domed house opens a 
house (J) devoted to monocotylous Plants of Tropical and Warm 
Regions, specially Aroids, Scitaminex, Liliacez, and Amaryllid- 
acez. Out of this opens the house (K) for Bromeliads; and in 
another house (L) opening from this is a rockery for plants that 
do not thrive well in the open. Behind the western end of the 
Front Range there is a Temperate Hotise (M) for Palms, Tree- 
Ferns, and Coniferze, and a Palm-House (N). 
Adjoining Inverleith Row is a group of buildings including 
the Museum (0), the Laboratories (P), the Lecture Hall (Q), 
and the Library (R). 
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. 
The Library contains over sixteen thousand volumes. The 
leading botanical and horticultural periodicals are taken and may 
be consulted like the other books by the public. Books are not 
lent from the Library. 
Herbarium.—In the southern portion of the Garden is the 
Herbarium (S). It contains a fair representation of the Floras 
of the world. 
A Ladies’ Cloak-Room is at (T). A Gentlemen’s 
Lavatory will be found at (V). 
From the higher ground of the Arboretum—at the point 
marked (X) 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.
