Abstract
WHEN the illustrated edition of Bentham's “Hand-book of the British Flora” was exhausted, the wood engravings of that work were reproduced in a volume intended to serve as a companion to the “Hand-book” and other British Floras. The volume has been so popular that the publishers have found it necessary to issue a second edition; and they have taken pains to secure that it shall be more useful than ever to students of botany, and especially to beginners. Five cuts have been added, and the arrangement of all the illustrations has been brought into accordance with Bentham's “Hand-book” as it has been revised by Sir J. D. Hooker. To facilitate reference from other Floras, the index has been greatly enlarged, and there is a new index of English and popular names.
Illustrations of the British Flora.
Drawn by W. H. Fitch, and W. G. Smith. Second Edition. (London: L. Reeve and Co., 1887.)
