owing to difficulties arising as to its publication and the doctor’s
failing health.
After his lamented death I began to arrange my notes and
drawings, and with the kindly encouragement of the late
Dr. Spruce and the help of many good friends, I have been able to
bring to a conclusion a work which has occupied the scanty leisure
of a busy commercial life.
My thanks are due to Messrs. James Cash, Richard Crawshaw,
George Ely, Symers M. Macvicar, and other friends for help
during the progress of the work.
No one can be more conscious than I am of its many imperfections,
yet I venture to hope that students will find it of value
in the study of these interesting plants.
