PREFACE. 



The Select Lists of Plants are compiled from notes made in the 

 author's own practice, and comprise most of those which are re- 

 markable from their splendour or fragrance, or some other peculiar 

 merit. Should any such, however, have escaped the author's notice, 

 the intelligent cultivator will have no difficulty in referring them to 

 their respective situat?ions in the Lists. 



In the course of a work of this extent, some typographical errors 

 were to be expected ; but the author is not aware of any whose 

 meaning is not made sufficiently clear by its context without the 

 insertion of any list of errata. 



Claremont, September, 1838.
