and his Manual of Cultivated Plants,*t Bonstedt’s Pareys Blumen- 
girtnerei,* Chittenden’s Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary 
of Gardening (see beyond, under Great Britain), Fournier’s 
Arbres, Arbustes et Fleurs de Pleine Terre (beyond, under 
France), Rehder’s Manual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs, and 
Schneider’s Illustriertes Handbuch der Laubholzkunde.** The 
most comprehensive work on ornamental (and other useful) 
plants of tropical regions is Macmillan’s Tropical Gardening and 
Planting ;* and the most extensive series of illustrations of plants 
erown in greenhouses in temperate regions is contained in Graf’s 
Exotica.® 
The available general works on floristics, useful plants, and 
so on of each country, as well as the floral statistics and the 
number of publications cited, are discussed in the following pages. 
ANDORRA.—The little state of Andorra, with an area of 495 
square kilometers (191 square miles), on the Pyrenean border 
between France and Spain, has a flora of about 1,150 species 
(Losa Espafa and Montserrat, 1951). Three floras have been 
published (in 1913, 1919, and 1951), the latest by Losa Espana 
and Montserrat; unfortunately only the earliest is in a readily 
accessible journal. There are 3 primary titles cited, of which 2 
are general and 1 local, and 8 subsidiary titles.

square kilometers (11,799 square miles), has a vascular flora of 
1,710 species, of which 1,367 are native (Hauman and Balle, 
1934). It is well provided with manuals and descriptive floras, 
of which Crépin’s Manuel (not revised since 1884) and Goffart’s 
Nouveau manuel (based on Crépin and brought up to date) are 
standard for the French-speaking part of the country, and
