It only remains to add, that the present list has no pretensions 
to be more than a compilation. As an Index to the horticultural 
literature of recent years, it is believed that it will be found of 
practical utility. To have attempted to further elaborate it or to 
give it anything approaching a scientific character would have 
postponed its publication indefinite 
No doubt, = use will detect some errors. For example, by 
some mischance the genus Sonerila has got out of place. But 
those who in Mind the book discover its defects will probably be 
those who will regard them most leniently. :
