The Work includes, under the title of EXOTIC FLORA, Figures and Descriptions of such Plants, not natives of Great Britain, as are Cultivated in our Gardens, or, in defect of them, of such as can be faithfully represented from well-preserved specimens in our Herbaria. In the selection of Species, preference is, of course, given to such as recommend themselves by their beauty, their history, novelty, or some remarkable or little-known characters in their flowers and fruit.
