The work concludes with an addenda in which is given the 

 characters of the seven natural orders of plants with which teachers 

 are to become acquainted who purpose taking botany as one of the 

 subjects at their final examination. Here they will find not only the 

 characters of the order as a whole, but of each suborder and tribe, with 

 also the name of some easily obtainable typical plant of each tribe. 

 To further show plant classification into genera and species, the 

 generic and specific characters of a plant in each order are given. 

 This, and the notes here and there given, will, it is hoped, form an 

 acceptable supplement to the text-book, whether taken advantage of 

 by teachers or not.
