Abstract
THIS is a book, or rather a pamphlet, of 179 pages of closely-printed matter, and illustrated by two maps of the country described, the nature of which with regard to its vegetation is very carefully recorded in the first division, which occupies forty-seven pages. The second part consists of a list of species arranged scientifically under each natural order, the paragraph referring to the individual plant comprising such information as to the frequency or scarcity of the species, the colour of the flowers, period of flowering, and any properties for which the plant may be economically valuable. These lists are useful in many ways, for instance they often show the widespread geographical range of many well-known plants, and in the lists before us we find many European introductions. A separate list of thirty-two species of fungi is added, and some notes on the maps given.
