SUPPLEMENT. 



biuls, the flowers beautifully succeeding each other, presented to the 

 eye a spectacle highly gratifying. The upper blossoms were in per- 

 fection so late as the 24th of December, when, a frost setting in, they 

 were nipped ; thus terminating the beauty of a plant that will long 

 live in the recollection of its numerous visiters, the number of which, 

 of all ranks, amounted to 7517. It may be worthy of remark, that, 

 as the flower-stalk grew and the flowers expanded, the leaves of the 

 plant became flaccid and drooping, and are now rapidly withering ; 

 but the stalk is still green, and will take several months to get dry. 



" During its progress towards flowering, in order to secure it from the 

 wind and rain, I erected over it a temporary covering with pit lights, 

 and underneath a flight of steps to a platform 12 ft. from the ground, 

 which enabled the visiters to approach the lowermost flowers. — 

 T. Si/mons. Clowance, Feb. 1838." 

 Plates. Vol. IV. Dele the following, as being varieties distinguished by colour, 

 and, therefore, not suitable for plates which, in the greater number of 

 copies, will not be coloured : — " Magnolia grandiflora ferruginea (2), 

 Tflia europae v a glauca (16), Tilia europae v a rubra (17)." Dele " Lirio- 

 dendron Tulipifera obtusiloba (14), as being a variety readily under- 

 stood from description." In a few copies, the plates of T. (e) alba, 

 the Hungarian Lime, are named T. argentea ; and T. americana is 

 named T. alba. ^! v cer obtusatum, in a few copies, is named A. hybri- 

 duin. Though botanists are well acquainted with these synonymes, 

 we have judged it advisable to name them here, for the sake of the 

 general reader, and to enable the binder to arrange the plates properly.
