182 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Savatier's " Enumeratio " [1875), my own monograph in the 

 Journal of the Linnean Society," vol. xviii. (1879), p. 473, as 

 well as the more recently published monograph of Japanese 

 Abietinese by Dr. Mayr (1890). 



The Chinese species have been enumerated in a monographic 

 list (not yet published), prepared by myself, to form part of 

 Forbes and Hemsley's very useful enumeration of all the plants 

 known from China proper, and which is now in course of 

 publication in the " Journal of the Linnean Society." 



The " Forest Flora of New Zealand," by Professor T. Kirk 

 (1889), contains numerous illustrations and excellent descriptions 

 of the peculiar species native in those islands, some of which are 

 grown here as greenhouse shrubs, and some of which are also 

 likely to be of great importance in countries suited to their 

 growth. 



Few Australian species come within the scope of this list, 

 but some are grown in our conservatories. The "Flora Austra- 

 liensis" of Bentham gives details concerning them, and a full list, 

 with references, is given in Baron Sir Ferdinand von Mueller's 

 *' Systematic Census of Australian Plants." For species of 

 economic importance and suitable for extra-tropical culture the 

 reader should consult that author's useful " Select Extra-Tropical 

 plants." 



To obviate unnecessary repetition and to save space, the full 

 titles of the works alluded to in the following list are only cited 

 in exceptional instances, thus : — 



" Benth. et Hook." signifies in all cases the monograph of 

 the genera of Conifers prepared by Mr. Bentham in Bentham 

 and Hooker's " Genera Plantarum," vol. iii., p. 420 (1880). 



By " Eichler " is meant the similar recension of the genera 

 by the late Professor Eichler in Engler and Prantl's " Die 

 natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien," 2. Teil, 1. Abtheilung (1889). 



The name " Parlatore " always applies to the monograph 

 of Conifers prepared by the Italian botanist for De Candolle's 

 " Prodromus," vol. xvi., part 2 (1868). 



" Veitch " applies exclusively to the Manual of Conifer in 

 which his assistant, Mr. Kent, took so large a share, and which 

 was published in 1881. 



" Beissner " is a brief citation for that author's " Handbuch 

 der Nadelholzkunde " (1891).
