Abstract
THE title of the book makes it evident that it contains a selection of species, and is written for the dilettante. As the illustrations are the guiding and principal feature, the former is a necessity, and as to the second observation it is recognised that professed botanists are few, while the number of those sufficiently interested in flowers to learn their names is large. It will also be noted that Mr. Hulme is not treating of Alpine flowers only, although a number of these are naturally included.
