NEW GARDEN PLANTS OF THE YEAR 1893. 
The number of garden plants annually described in botanical and 
horticultural publications, both English and foreign, is now so consider- 
able that it has been thought desirable to publish a complete list of them 
in the Kew Bulletin each year. The following list comprises all the 
new introductions recorded during 1893. These lists are indispensable 
to the maintenance of a correct nomenclature, especially in the smaller 
botanical -establishme nts in correspondence with Kew, which are, as a 
riodicals. Sı i 
this establishment, many of which will be distributed from it in the 
regular course of exchange with other botanic gardens. 
The present list includes not only plants brought into cultivation for 
the first time during 1893, but the most notewo rthy of those which have 
been re-introduced after being lost from caltivation. Other plants 
included in the list have been in gardens for several years, but either 
were not described or their names had not been authenticated until 
recen 
In addition to species and botanical varieties, all hybrids, whether 
introduced or of garden origin, but described for the first time in 1893, 
are included. It has not been thought desirable, however, to give 
authorities after the names of garden hybrids i in such genera as Cypri- 
pedium, &c. Mere garden varieties of such plants as Coleus, Codiæum 
or Narcissus are beue for obvious reasons. 
In every case the plant is cited under its published name, although 
some of the names are doubtfully correct. Where, however, a correctio 
has appeared desirable this is made. 
The name of the person in bie collection the plant was first noticed . 
or described is given where known.
