Mr. Collinson does not appear ever to have paid much attention to gene- rical discriminations, and as the beautiful invention of trivial names was not brought into general use till very shortly before his decease, he has generally, throughout the Catalogue, continued with more or less abbreviation to use the' name of either of the older Authors, or to frame some such short definition of his own as might enable him to recognise a species, without any regard to uni- formity. By these means it frequently happens that plants, which ought never to be separated, and even the different varieties of a species, are to be found with different generical names, under different letters of the alphabet, and I have, therefore, attempted a re-arrangement of the whole Catalogue according to the Linnean Nomenclature, and have prefixed to the species their modern names in Italics, as nearly as I have been able to ascertain them. — With the Catalogue thus re-aranged, 1 have incorporated those of Mr. Collinson's memoranda, which relate to his garden, and these memoranda, with some occasional notes of my own, may be at once distinguished by appearing in a smaller print. 1
