ARGOTTI BOTANICAL GARDENS AND THE FLORA OF MALTA. 569 



Few, if any, of the innumerable hybrids grown in English gardens 

 and conservatories have found their way to Malta; the species mentioned 

 above, as of Pelargonium, are mostly the original wild ones from the Cape. 



A seed catalogue is published every year ; that for 1899 contains the 

 names of 525 plants. 



In an additional list of plants not yet catalogued, sent by Dr. Debono 

 in manuscript, there are about 270 additional names. It contains eight 

 other species of Ficus, five of Opwitia, eleven Conifers, and eighty-three 

 Ferns. 



The following enumeration of seeds received and despatched in 1900 

 will give some idea of the usefulness of the Garden under the present 

 Director, Dr. T. Debono.
