Synopsis (Continuing the notes)

IN continuing the notes, as in Series I. and II., care has been taken to avoid repetitions, as also to select subjects properly pertaining to the present volume by reason of the figures and descriptions it contains. Such a work as the present can never serve the purpose of a treatise on botany, and no pretence can be made thereto; but these notes may often supply acceptable information on the genera and orders of the plants selected for illustration and save the reader the trouble of travelling further for it.
