Appendix A. xciii 
1822. Botanical Illustrations for use in the Classroom. An 
oblong folio of twenty-four lithographed plates, with 327 figures 
of the organs of plants, &c., executed by the author. 
1823- 7. The Exotic Flora, containing figures and descriptions of 
new rare or otherwise interesting Exotic Plants, especially such 
as are deserving of being cultivated in our gardens, in three vols, 
8 vo, with 232 coloured plates chiefly by the author (which also 
appeared in 4to form). The work appeared in a serial. Dedi- 
cated to Charles Lyell, Esq., F.L.S., of Kinnordy. The subjects 
were supplied chiefly by the Botanical Gardens of Glasgow, 
Edinburgh, and Liverpool. Though financially a failure, the 
work benefited largely the above gardens, by attracting the 
attention especially of West Indian merchants, who directed their 
foreign agents and correspondents to collect and transmit living 
plants to them. One notable figure in the work is that of 
Cattleya labiata, Lindl., a plant which has, under its own and 
innumerable other varietal and hybrid names, received more 
horticultural awards than any other Orchid. It flowered for the 
first time in a stove in Mr. Hooker’s garden in Halesworth in 
1818, the plant having been sent him from Brazil by its dis- 
coverer, W. Swainson, Esq. This was six years before Lindley 
(in 1824) published the genus in the ‘Collectanea Botanica,’

1 In this journal, vol. i, p. 173, the following announcement appeared : — ‘We 
may here mention, that Dr. Hooker, Professor of Botany in the University of 
Glasgow, is at this time engaged in preparing an Universal Flora in the English 
language, in which he will follow entirely the arrangements, and in many instances 
the generic and specific characters, which have been adopted by De Candolle in 
his Prodromus. Every new species to which Dr. Hooker can obtain access will 
besides be added, and the work will be accompanied by plates, drawn by himself, 
illustrative of the Natural Orders. The first part will appear at the commence- 
ment of the ensuing year.’ My father did contemplate such a work, but I am very 
sure that he never put pen or pencil to paper in prosecution of it.
