xii FEATURES OF THE GARDEN. 
From the Eastern Corridor two houses project to the south—one 
(A) occupied by Plants of Dry Regions, the other (B) containing 
Economic Plants of both Tropical and Temperate Regions. 
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 (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 Temperate Regions, and attached to it are two houses 
running southwards, one of which (H) is occupied by Tropical 
Ferns, 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, Liliacee, and Amaryllidacee; Pitcher 
Plants are also provided for in this house. Out of this opens the 
house (K) for Bromeliads; and in another house (L) opening 
from this is a collection of plants requiring warm temperate 
environment, Behind the western end of the Front Range there 
is a Temperate House (M) for Faia Tree-Ferns and Conifere, 
and a Palm-House (N). 
Adjoining Inverleith Row is a group of buildings including 
the Museum (O), the Laboratories (P), and the Lecture 
Hall (Q). 
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 (R). 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 (T) at the side of the path 
leading along the eastern boundary. A Gentlemen’s Lavatory 
will be found at (S). 
From the higher ground of the Arboretum—at the point marked 
(V) 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 
Pentland Hills, is obtained.
