Of late years the gepa plants of British Guiana have 
received careful attention. Large vap ey of dried and living 
specimens have been received at Kew fr Mr. Jenman, 
many new species have been renal and described in 
Hooker’s Icones Plantarum. Much still remains to be done in 
investigating the arboreal vegetation of the Colony, and especially 
in identifying the plants yielding valuable timbers, indiarubber, 
gums, ete.
