The Pan Suecus, it may be prefumcd, is but in 

 few hands, at lealt of fuch whom the fubjed: moft 

 concerns. It is written in Latin, and put into the 

 moft compendious form imaginable, by inferting 

 only the trivial names of the plants, and referring 

 to the number in the Flora Suecica^ where the fy- 

 Bonyms are given. In this form it is almoft ufe- 

 lefs to perfons unacquainted with Linn^us's writ- 

 ings, and from an Englijh reader is entirely hid. 

 It appean-d of importance enough to be thrown 

 into an Englijh drefs, to which end it was neceflary 

 to give It a form different from the original. 



So far as the trials were made with plants which 

 are common to both countries, the refult may be 

 feen in the following pages, and they amount to no 

 very inconfiderable number. Being taken nearly 

 in the order in which they ftood in the original 

 paper, fo the fexual fyftem is of courfe preferved. 

 Yet perhaps a more apt difpofition of them might 

 have been given, by arranging them accoi-ding tp 

 their ufual places of growth. 



In order to render it more generally intelligible 

 and acceptable, the Englijh name of the plant 

 is firft given, then the Linn^an generical and 

 trivial name, by which it may inftantly be found, 

 either in Linn^us's own works, or in Mr. Hud- 

 Jon^ s Flora Anglica, To thefe follow three columns. 

 The firft contains the reference to the page in Dr.
