BY Mh. don, 



COMPRISING AN ACCOUNT OF THE 



LAMBERTIAN HERBARIUM 



l^iiE Lambertian Herbarium is arranged according to tlie Linnaean System, in cabinets, after the 

 excellent plan of the Banksian Herbarium. Each species is glued on a single half sheet of stout folio 

 writing paper. The species arc then placed in a whole sheet of the same paper, on which is written the 

 name of the genus^ as well as the number, corresponding with the general Index of the Herbarium. 



In regard to the trivial name, reference is always made to the latest edition of the Species Plantaruiity 

 and such as are not contained in that work, are referred to the authors who fii-st described them. 



This collection has, at different times, been enriolied by the contributions, of men eminent for science: 

 the Proprietor has spared neither pains nor expense to render it as complete as possible ; and the whole cannot 

 be estimated at less than thirty thousand species, among which are several thousands yet unpabhshed. • 



In consequence of the arrangement already mentioned, any new accession is necessarily separated as soon 

 as received; and the specimens put in those respective departments in the Herbarium which their classification 

 assi'nis to them: but the following are the chief sources from whence the collection has been formed:-- ^

Mr. Lambert's ownHerbariuoi of indigenous plants found in England and Ireland. 



2. A collection of specimens purchased at the sale of the Duchess of Portland's Museum; this included 



some interesting Cape plants and other exotics. 



3. A large collection of plants collected at the Cape, Madeira, and Tenerlffe, by Mons. LabiUardiere : 



these were taken by an Englisli ship of war, in 1798, and purchased by Mr. Lambert. 



All that part of the Herbarium of the celebrated Mr. Hudson, which contained his Cnjpfogamia: this 

 was purchased by Mr. Lambert, and formed an extensive collection of indigenous and exotic Liclieus, 

 Mosses, and Fuci, but unarranged: also some other scarce indigenous plants collected by Hudson 

 in his last journey to the West of England, and a parcel of the seeds of Vella annua, which he was 

 said to have found near Stonehenge.
