(Suite.) 



The continuation of Ihis list, which proceeds with the enumeration of 

 the species of Ihe lower groups of Dicolyledons, stai'ts ofï frora n. 344; 

 Ihree numbers having been duplicated by inadverlence in tlie firsl por- 

 lion of the list. Il may be noted that références are given in the case of 

 •new names pubUshed afler 30 December 1885, the terminal date of the 

 names which are included in the hidex Kewensis. Références are also 

 given where the authorities or citations are différent from those quoted 

 for the species in the Index Kewensis^ or otherwise inaccurate. 



in the matter of nomenclature, I hâve mainly followed the suggestions 

 issued by the botanical authorities of the Berlin Museum, being for the 

 most part readily applicable by practica! botanists : but I am in complète 

 accord with the views long held by the scientific staff of the Kew Botanic 

 Gardens and Herbarium, who disregard the multifarious and mutually 

 conflicting «rules» for nomenclature each and ail severally recom- 

 mended for adoption in bewildering succession, to the confusion of bota- 

 nical literature, and who rightly relegate nomenclature to a subordinate 

 place in systematic botany.
