Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Queensland Flora, Vol. 1 The issue of the "Synopsis of the Queensland Flora" having for some time been exhausted, it has been deemed advisable to publish another and more complete work concerning the plants of the Colony. This will be issued in six parts, and each part will be accompanied by a few lithographic plates. Part I., now issued, contains the Orders Ranunculaceae to Anacardiaceae. The arrangement is that of Bentham and Hooker's "Genera Plantarum." Where plants are described in the "Flora Australiensis" such descriptions are reproduced in full, with any needful further descriptive notes which may have come to our knowledge since. In all cases where Mr. Bentham gave notes of the genera or species such notes I have considered far too important to leave out, so they will be found generally intact. The explanation of systematic names, and the inclusion of aboriginal and local names will doubtless prove acceptable; and it is hoped that the notes upon the economic and other properties will be found of service. The authorities and references have been curtailed to little more than works dealing with Australian plants. In a large number of cases the names of works in which illustrations of certain plants may be found, have been quoted; and frequent references will be found to fungus blights which have been observed upon the plants. With regard to the localities where each plant has been found, only a few are recorded for plants having a wide range, and seldom other than the names of the earlier collectors are given. As in most works of this kind the right to republish Mr. Bentham's excellent "Outlines of Botany" has been acquired from MESSRS. L. Reeve & Co., of London. The naturalised plants will be found numbered in with the indigenous species, but will be marked with an asterisk by way of distinction. Several strays from cultivation, which at present can scarcely be considered as naturalised, are also included.
