Where the tabular lines occur, the species whose details they contain are additional to those in Loudon's H6r- 



Occasionally a species may be repeated for the sake of exhibiting its details more accurately than they are 

 exhibited in the Hortus Britdnnicus. Such species will have a dagger (f) prefixed to them. 



To the genera new to the HOrtus Britdnnicus a star (*) will be prefixed. 



The books cited in italics in the column for " references to figures " are quoted for description or incidental 

 notices ; these being the best substitutes for figures or perfect descriptions, until figures or perfect descrip- 

 tions are published. 



The dates introduced after hybrids are those at which they were raised from the hybridised seeds, as nearly 

 as these dates can be ascertained. 



The numbers prefixed to the orders are those they bear in Lindley's Introduction to the Natural System. 



Where blanks occur in the place of specific names, they will proceed from this cause : Professor Lindley deter- 

 mines to figure showy hybrids and garden varieties, but neither to give them a Latin specific epithet nor 

 discriminative description, nor to state their relative place in systematic arrangements. Carton's rhododen- 

 dron, Low's lobelia, and Young's calceolaria are three instances ; but to the latter two the epithets in use in 

 the nurseries are applied below. 



Class I. 



Plants endowed with a Vascular Structure and obvious Blossom. 



Subclass I. 



Plants with Exogenous Growth and Dicotyledonous Seed. 



Division I. Plants with a Polypetalous Corolla. 



I. Araliacece. 

 Kemarks on this order are incidentally expressed by Mr. David Don, in Sweet's British Flower-Garden for 

 Jan. 1832, t. 125. : they are these : — "I wish here to correct a grave error, into which I had fallen in Prd- 



* Epiphytes are plants growing upon other plants, deriving from the latter nothing but their local 

 habitation ; parasites grow into, and absorb their nutriment from, the plants which bear them : epiphytes are 

 numerous within the tropics; parasites are few everywhere, and, in Britain, limited to Fiscum album, CUscuta 

 puropa^a, Cdscuta Fpithymum, Lathrae^a Squamaria, the species of Orobanche, and many species of Fungus ; 

 perhaps Monotropa Hyp6pitys, and a few other plants. J. E. Bowman, in late researches among the British 

 parasitic plants, has seen cause to believe that Ne6ttia nidus avis is not parasitic. — J.D.
