 g. foem., fusca mas, f. foem., incubacea mas, i. foem., and ros- 

 marinifolia mas, r. foem., all deciduous, from 1 ft. to 3 ft. high ; 

 herbacea mas, h. foem., reticulata mas, r. foem., foe'tida mas, 

 f. foem., repens mas, r. foem., and prostrata mas, p. foem., pro- 

 strate deciduous shrubs, under a foot in height. Nearly the 

 whole grow in moist ground. Populus alba qu. mas, a. foem., 

 tremula mas, t. foem., nigra mas, n. foem.; and canescens mas, 

 c. foem., deciduous trees, from 40 ft. to 60 ft. high. 



M-yricecE. iWyrica Gdle mas, G. foem., deciduous shrubs, 2 ft. 

 high. ^ 



Conifer(B. Pinus sylvestris, an evergreen tree, from 60 ft. to 

 80 ft. high ; Taxus baccata mas, b, foem., and var. hibernica, 

 evergreen trees, 20 ft. to 30 ft. high ; Jumperus communis mas, 

 c. foem., evergreen shrubs, from 5ft. to 7 ft. high; nana mas, 

 n. foem., prostrate evergreen shrubs. 



YmpHre(E. ^;'mpetrum nigrum mas, n. foem., evergreen 

 prostrate shrubs. 



SmildcecB. jRuscus aculeatus mas, a. foem., and var. laxus, 

 evergreen shrubs, from 1 ft. to 2 ft. high. 



In estimating the heights of these trees and shrubs, we have 

 supposed them to be growing in their natural and ordinary 

 habitats. Under culture, or even in a wild state under favourable 

 circumstances, many of them would grow higher, particularly 

 the roses, the willows, and the fruticulose plants. The number 

 of the latter might have been increased, by adding the car- 

 nation, the pink, &c., which, even as indigenous plants, are 

 certainly as much fruticulose as Puphorbm Characias, or E. 

 «mygdaloides. 



The above enumeration includes 71 genera, and about 200 

 species, nearly 100 of which are willows, roses, and brambles; 

 and these species are comprised in 37 groups or natural orders. 

 In greater detail, they are : — • 



27 deciduous trees, from 30 ft. to 60 ft. in height. 



28 deciduous trees, from 15 ft. to 30 ft. in height. 



1 evergi-een tree, from 60 ft. to 80 ft., the Scotch pine.
