xi FEATURES OF THE GARDEN. 
Economic Plants of both Tropical and Temperate Regions. 
Ending the Corridor is a house (AA) occupied by Rhododendrons 
and other Temperate Shrubs and Trees; opening from it are 
houses (BB and CC) in which an indoor rockery has been built 
for Rock Plants which do not thrive in the open. 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) 
occupied by Tropical Plants, and the other(I)is used for Heaths 
and Hardwooded Plants. From the northern wing of this domed 
house opens a house (J) devoted to monocotylous Plants of Tropi- 
cal and Warm Regions, specially Aroids, Scitaminez, Liliacee, 
and Amaryllidacee. Out of this opens the house (K) for 
Bromeliads; and in another house (L) opening from this are 
Pitcher Plants. Behind the western end of the Front Range 
there is a Temperate House (M) for Palms, Tree-Ferns, and 
Contferz, and a Palm-House (N). 
Adjoining Inverleith Row is a group of buildings including 
the Museum (O), the Laboratories (P), the Lecture Hall (Q), 
the Library (R), and the Office (Y), for transaction of business 
with the public. © 
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. 
Ladies’ Cloak-Rooms are at (T) and (T). Gentlemen's 
Lavatories will be found at (V) and (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.
