NEW SYLVA 
Calycanthus , Hamamelis , Crategus , Vibur - 
num &c demand also a new revision, fifties 
and A&er have been partly corrected in the 
Lexicon of first part. Salix and Populus cer- 
tainly require to have subgenera or better sec- 
tions. 
Much therefore remains to be done to de- 
tect, describe and name properly all our woody 
plants. I hope to do something towards it in 
this New Sylva. My reward will probably be 
as usual a denial of justice and neglect of my 
species, until they shall be introduced at great 
cost into the European Nurseries. It is said 
that a gardener that introduces a new Tree or 
Shrub in England, often makes a great deal of 
money by it ; but the learned Botanist who by 
20 years of travels and exertions detects the lo- 
cality, sends specimens or seeds, is unreward- 
ed : nay it is expected that he should give 
away his specimens and seeds ! If like myself 
he has discovered 100 or 200 new trees and 
shrubs, he is expected to give them all away 
for nothing! and not believed unless he does! 
In the name of justice, pray why is a Botan- 
ist to be denied the privilege of Nurserymen 
and Sellers of plants ? Michaux was paid for 
his collections and informations, Bose has been 
rewarded. Vanderschot was sent from Ger- 
many on purpose to collect seeds of trees by 
the Prince of Lichtenstein who has planted for- 
ests of American trees there. 
If I had been attended to and rewarded I 
could have introduced into our gardens, nurse- 
ries, and those of Europe, all my new Grape 
Vines and Roses, with 100 other fine trees and 
shrubs discovered by myself between 1802 and 
1836. If they are yet unknown there or are very
