EFFECT OF FROSTS OF WINTER OF 1916-17 ON VEGETATION. 405 
List of Plants. 
In arranging the names of plants for the following list, I have 
followed the Kew Hand Lists in any cases of divergence or doubt that 
have attracted my attention. I cannot, of course, take any responsi- 
bility for the correctness of the names as applied to the plants, 
having merely copied them from the lists. In a few instances I have 
taken the liberty of altering names when I believe the name generally 
in use in gardens is not the correct one. For instance, Berberis 
Wallichiana becomes B. Hookeri, as the true B. Wallichiana is 
probably not in cultivation. Crinodendron Hookeri becomes Tricus- 
pidaria lanceolata, and so on. 
Signs and Abbreviations. 
* Before a name signifies that the plant is of recent introduction, and, unless 
otherwise stated, in almost all cases from China. 
f Following the name of the locality shows that the plant was grown against, 
or close to, a wall. If any of the letters N., S., E., or W. are added, a wall facing 
North, South, West, &c. is signified. 
When a numeral follows the name of the locality it shows the number of years 
the plant has been in its present position. 
The extent of damage, or escape from injury, is shown by the use of the initial 
letters of the following words in italics : 
K = Killed. 
G = Cut down to the Ground level. 
B = Badly injured. 
5 = Slightly injured. 
U = Uninjured. 
The names of localities have been shortened when possible to one word. 
An alphabetical list of these will be found in the table on pp. 402-404, with full 
addresses and information as to exposure, amount of frost, &c.
