Catalogue Of The Plants In The Queensland Botanic Gardens

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Catalogue of Plants in the Two Metropolitan Gardens, the Brisbane Botanic Garden and Bowen Park: Arranged According to Bentham and Hooker's "Genera Plantarum,"; Interspersed With Numerous Notes on the Uses and Properties of the Plants In presenting a catalogue of the plants in the two Metropolitan Gardens, the Brisbane Botanic and Bowen Park, the compiler thinks it may be well to make a few prefatory remarks, especially as he has not followed the usual practice of giving only a dry list of scientific names - to the many a dead language. Wherever a local name is known he has given it, but has not thought it advisable to follow the usage of those who, failing to find a local name, give a free translation of the scientific one in lieu thereof; when no local name is known for a plant it is as well that the public should understand and use the scientific name, which has the advantage of being the one used by all nationalities. The numerous notes on the properties and uses of the plants are a feature the compiler feels sure will be appreciated by a large number of persons, especially by those who take a utilitarian view of them; all of which have been extracted from the best authorities on the subject, and may therefore be relied upon as correct. The classification and nomenclature is that of Bentham and Hooker's "Genera Plantarum, but where plants have been known in our gardens by other names, these are given in parentheses. Although a number of the plants are indigenous to more than one country - some, indeed, having a world-wide range - it has been thought sufficient to note one only. No long list is given of the names and nationalities of the many persons who have stood sponsors for the plants, but as some may wonder what the few letters after each name may mean it might be well just briefly to mention that Linn., after the name Anemone, indicates that this genus was named by the immortal Swedish naturalist, C. Linnaeus; and Zucc, after the specific name japonica, below it, means that J. G. Zuccarini gave the specific name.
