As a whole they chiefly interest the Botanist and Horticulturist, but, in combination with the delineation of Plants and Flowers, are introduced numerous Birds and gaily colored Insects, additional to those specially figured. American species from a good percentage of the list. Quite a number of species are indicated as _new_, and given binomials, followed by “_Nobis_,” in the Plate Indexes.
