Ecological, morphological, and other subjects have been dealt with by giving comparatively full accounts under selected genera. By referring, first to the subject, e.g. to Adventitious Buds, and then to the genera mentioned there, e.g. Begonia, Bryophyllum, c., a fairly detailed account of each subject may be put together. In using the book, the subjects mentioned under a genus should always be looked up, to find other examples, e.g. under Aesculus look up Bud, Leaf, Leaf-mosaic, Cincinnus, Dichogamy, Change of Colour, S:c. A book like this must obviously be a compilation, and I have to express my warmest thanks to Prof. A. Engler for permission to draw upon the vast mass of material contained in Die Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien. Owing to the war I have had no opportunity of asking him to renew this permission, and I trust that he will understand as much. When an article, as is frequently the case with the grouping of the sub-families within the family, is taken from the work mentioned, I have acknowledged the same by giving the name of the author. Otherwise I have in general: drawn upon the book for the genera accepted by its authors, for the number of species (which has been brought roughly up to date by aid of the Supplements to the Index Kewensis), and for their geographical distribution. The list of friends to whom I owe valuable suggestions, useful pieces of assistance, and the like, is very long, and I have no doubt that the following enumeration is incomplete, and must ask the pardon of those who do not figure in it, through some oversight on my part to note down their names at the moment the help was given.
