European botanists, it will, in all probability, afFord large additions to our 

 parks and shrubberies. That Himalaya and other mountainous regions of 

 India, temperate from their elevation, have many trees and shrubs in store for 

 Britain, is rendered certain by the excellent Illustrations of the Botany, t^c, of 

 the Himalayan Mountains of Mr. Royle. That gentleman, \fho joins to the 

 acuteness of the scientific botanist, the extended views of the general observer, 

 and the knowledge of both Indian and European cultivation, considers that 

 all the plants of regions in India elevated not less than 7000 ft. above the 

 level of the sea, if not found in valleys, are likely to prove hardy in Britain. 

 The following list is of species considered likely to be in this condition, or, 

 at least, most of them. It has been prepared chiefly from Royle' s Illustra- 

 tions ; but, in cases to which Mr. Royle's work has not yet been extended, or 

 that do not come within its scope, from other sources ; these are. Dr. Wal- 

 lich's manuscript catalogue, to which Mr. Royle has both given the access 

 and indicated the species likely to be fittest for selection in, and our 

 Hortiis Britannicus, In this list, all those names to which a star (*) is pre- 

 fixed are, as in preceding lists, supposed not to be indigenous; the dagger (f ), 

 before a specific name, indicates that a species of that name from India has 

 already been introduced into Britain ; and the point of interrogation (?), put 

 before a specific name, implies a doubt as to the species being capable of 

 enduring the open air in this country.
