Abstract
ON the title-page of this, the first supplement to the “Index Kewensis,” the name of Monsieur T. Durand, the director of the botanical garden at Brussels, is associated with that of Mr. Daydon Jackson, the author of the original work. Mr. Durand is mainly responsible for the new part, which deals with species and varieties which have been named during the decade 1886–1895. In order to maintain uniformity, the same arrangement is adopted as in the “Index Kewensis.” Most of the new plants are tropical, and quite an appreciable addition is due entirely to Kuntze, who has upset several of the ordinarily accepted genera, though for the most part species names are unchanged. This part takes the genera as far as Cymbidium.
