Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appendix to the First Twenty-Three Volumes of Edwards's Botanical Register: Consisting of a Complete Alphabetical and Systematical Index of Names, Synonymes, and Matter, Adjusted to the Present State of Systematical Botany; Together With a Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony It has appeared to the Editor desirable to take advantage of this opportunity, for publishing at once a detailed account of the vegetation of one of the most interesting of the British Colonial possessions, from which multitudes of seeds are now continually arriving, and of which it is absolutely necessary for the lover of gardens to have some knowledge, if he would avoid the vexation of buying plants of no value under high sounding and imposing names. It is probable that for some years to come, few species deserving cultivation, will be received from Swan River, beyond such as are noticed in this Appendix, which will therefore, it is hoped, form a useful guide to purchasers in this country, and enable those who reside in the colony, or who have friends there, to judge on the one hand what to send home, and on the other, what to ask their correspondents to collect.
