PREFACE.

The first edition of this Catalogue, publieheJ eleven years ago, has in the Sscond Edition now ofiered to the public been largely' augmented in genera, species, and descriptive .det^iil. Though not exhaustive of ornamental exotics in cultivation, or of weeds in the field, the Catalogue inay in other respects be considered tolerably complete up to date. It contains '3,222 named species and varieties against 2,020 published in the original list of 1880. The work maintains its former character generally, and with the additional indexes appended, it is hoped that those who are not conversant with scientific terms,may.be able to discover a fair pro-

portion of the proper names of plants ; and hence a knowledge of their affinities and uses, as described by many authors. To facili- tate the -determination of local species, nearly 800 Kanarese names have been entered, and type specimens of Natural Orders have mostly been preferred from plants with vemaicular apppl- lations. Many of these local, names are published for the first time, and as the subject is one of some obscurity, the Compiler trusts that errors will be leniently dealt with. The credit attach- ing to ,the vernacular wo:^k falls to Siddapur Davannah, the plant collector who reported the greater part of the names, and to M. Krishnaswamy Chetty, the writer who revised and tabulated the same. The diagnostic characters attached to each Natural Order, and other abridged details^ such as the approximate color of the flower, are only intended to guide the student to a fuller description in standard works of Systematic Botany. Of the latter. " Sir Joseph Hooker's great work " The Flora of British India will, when completed, be the standard text. '

Bangalore is situa,ted in 12 ° 57' 37" North latitude and 77 ° •36' 56" East longitude, at an undulating elevation of 3,000 to ' 3,100 feet. The average rainfall for the year is 35 inches, but there is along dry season extending v from December till May when a great variety of trees, shrubs, and ierbs are ripened into a condition of fertility and subsequentySeed-bearing. The three principal ga,rdens of Southern India,

The eafly history of the Lal-Bagh—Red Garden—^is wrapped in some obscurity, but it is known to have been a prolific fruit garden during the time of Hyder Ali, and seems to have maihtained the —

Bamo function until long after the fallofTippn Sultan. The tank- bund ^as originally constructed by forced labor, but was after- wards greatly improved during-the-incumbenny of Mr. William New, the first pjjofegsional Superintendent of the gardens. During the Htter part of Tippu's rule, and for nearly' half the present century, the Lal-Bagh was supervised by' two Muhammadan Darogahs, father and son. The former, Mahomed Ali, seems to have been in- vested with considerable powers, and was able to do a great deal for his charge ; but Abdul Khader, the son, had limited action and the garden became an ill-kept jungle of fruit trees. Of the latter, some unique specimens of Mangifera indica still adorn the grounds. In 1836, the Chief Commissioner of Mysore, Sir Mark Cubb3n, made over the Lal-Bagh to an Agri-Horticultural Society, which was then formed for the first time at Bangalore. But on the dissolution of the Society in 1842, or six years later, the property was restored to Government, and has remained in its possession up to the present time. Dr. Hugh Cleghorn, and Mr. Jaffray (Superintendent of the Gardens at Msidra's) visited the Lal-Bagh in July 1856, and on the recommendation of these officers, it was established, in the following year, as the Governriient Horticultural Gardeps. Mr. New- arrived from Kew, and took charge of the gardens in April 1858. Ill December, 1863, he resigned the office and was succeeded by another Kew man, Mr. A. A. Black. He, unfortunately, was; in poor health, and on his resignation in October 1865, Mr. New was re-appbinted, and held office until his death in August 18V3. Since the Rendition of the Province in 1881, the Institution has been maintainted by the Mysore Statej His Highness' Govern- ment have shown much solicitude for the improvement of the' gardens, which now cover an area of about • 100 acres. A large conservatory,' the foundation ston6 of which was laid by His Eoyal Highness Prince Albert Victor of Wales, on the 30th November 1889, has recently been cons'tracted at a cost of: Rs: 76,000.

Examine all the parts of any garden geranium. In doing so, note the peculiar formation of the fruit, which is not unlike a crane's bill.

Tribe II Oxalidem. Herbs or small trees with compound sensitive leaves. Compare the Bilimbi tree with the perenninal herb Pullampurasi soppu.

Tribe III Balsamineoe. Herbs with succulent stems, simple leaves and irregular showy flowers. See the garden Balsam, which has run wild about Bangalore.

Tribe IV Tropimlaceee. Trailing herbaceous plants with alternate, simple, smooth, and often peltate leaves. Flowers irregular and showy. Fruit acrid. The introduced bedding plants popularly called Nasturtium really belong to the genus Tropceolum, and are good types of the tribe.

Sub^Oedbe I. PAPILIONACEa;, THE PEA FAMILY,

It should b© noted that this Order of herbs, shrubs^ and trees, the largest but one of flowering plants, is arranged under three well defined Sub-Orders—I Pap- lionacecBy II Gasalpinim, and III Mimosek. The first of these is cosmopolitan, and possesses the typical^ irregular, butterfly pea-flower. E^resentatives are found in all countries', mostly in the form of herbs, shrubs, and twicers ; the trees bemg largely confined to the tropics. See the garden pea^ or the field bean, Ave&e^ es^iS.

Cresalpinieae is confined to the tropical, sub-tropical,, and warm temperate parts of the world. It is largely made up of trees and shrubs with finely pimmte leaves and handsome, irregulair flowers. Examine Nos. 65, 73- and 77, all' of whidi are good types.

Mimosese is also restricted to the warmer parts of the globe. The small regular flowers; are usually arranged in dense globular heads (puff-balls) or eyhndrical spites.. See the indigenous genera. The prqgresave' transition from the irregular to the regular form of flower can be distinctly traced through these Sub- Orders Leguminosae contains nearly 7000 knowB spepies.

CACTEyE. THE PRICKLY PEAE FAMILY..

A large American Order of succulents. The prict- ly pear and a few of its toiigeners are naturalised in India. Bhpsalis Cassytha, is the only native plant. The Cactese are easily recognised by their peculiar habit, of- which there are three distinct forms, viz., the columnar, the globular, and the lobed or jointed. The prickly pear of hedge-rows is a good type of the latter and also of the family generally.

COMPOSlTyE. THE COMPOSITE FAMILY.

Herbs, shrubs, or rarely trees ; the latter being soft wooded, and mostly indigenous to South America. This is the largest Order of flowering plants, comprising about 8,000 known species from all parts of the world. It is clearly also very defined by the following characters :

1. The usually herbaceous nature of species.

2. The capitate inflorescence, i. e., the gathering into a single dense head of many individual florets, so that the whole might be mistaken for a single large flower. The daisy, for example, is often looked upon as a simple flower.

3. The united or syngenesious anthers.

4. The inferior ovary containing one erect ovule.

Being a very large family, Gdmpositse. is divided into several tribes and numerous sub-tribes. The modifi- cations of structure found under the headings Tubidi- flora, and Lig'diflorce should be carefully noted by the Indian student. Nos. 4 1 and 46 represent these two Sub-Orders. 1 Centratherom, Cass. 1 conrtallense, Benth. India, jk F1, yeUow. 24 94 CATALOGUE OF PLANTS.

OLEACEyE. THE OLIVE AND JASMINE FAMILY,

An Old World family of trees and shrubs, characterised by long domestic use and a few technical points of interest. Of the latter note the want of symmetry in the flower, the stamens being only two in number while the sepals and petals are usually in fours and fives. Again, the oyary is 2—celled, hence we have the reproductive organs made up of two stamens and the same number of carpels.

GONVOLVULACEyE, THE BINDWEED FAMILY.

The plants of this Order are mostly of a twining or trailing habit, but there are also some erect shrubs, and a fe\v^ trees. Confined almost exclusively to tropical and sub-tropical regions. Leaves alternate and exstipulate, usually long-petiolate. Flowers conspicuous and gaily coloured, campatiulate or funnel — shaped; cymose and bracteate. Note the plaited corolla which is an unusual condition in gamcipetalae. Also the annular disc sur- rounding the superior 2 — 4 celled ovary. Seeds definite, being usually 4— 1.

The elephant creeper, Argyreia s^eciosa, is a good large type of the family. The tribe Guscutea consists of leafless parasites suspended from the trunks and branches of trees in the cooler parts of India.

whorled ; exstipulate. Flowers irregular, and anisomerous by the suppression of one or more stamens. The latter condition should be carefully noted as it technically sepa- rates the family from Solanacem. Observe, too, that the perfect stamens are often didynamous. The Order is widely scattered over the globe and affords many popular garden flowers, as also a considerable proportion of the weeds of most countries. Nos. 1,4, 10, 15 and 21 are good examples for study, as they represent the more injportant tribes of the group.

VERBENAGEyE. THE VERBENA FAMILY.

An Order of trees, shrubs and herbs ; iriostly fropical. Its general morphology is closely allied to that of Acan- ihacece and Lahiutm, and the strictly determinable points will be found in the structure of the ovaries and the disposition of the ovules in the three families. The one under notice has an entire, superior, and usually 4-celled ovary, with terminal style-. Tha.Qvules are not attached by a hooked process, and the fruit is rarely capsular, being mostly a drupe or berry. The species are alsa much larger, as a rule, than we find them in the allied Orders here referred to. Examine species of Nos. 1, 5, 7 and 10.

pflandular, and exstipulate leaves ; also the irregular flower with persistent calyx and deeply 4—^lobed ovary, the latter being a special character in this family. The sacred herb ' tulasi' and its congeners are typical plants of the Order, and a careful dissection of their parts will instruct the enquirer better than any written diagnosis.

rapidly in India ; and the intermediate forms which thus arise are most distracting.

Islands, The introduced Casuarina equisetifoUa, Forst, i«; extensively cultivated in Mysore, and other parts of India, as a remunerative fuel-tree. It is a graceful pine- like tree, and the mournful soughing of its fluted branchlets is a familiar sound to those who frequent its groves. The proper lea'ves are reduced to mere scales at the tips of the branchlets. Flowers unisexual, monoecious, and dull red- In a country where there are no pines, the scenic effect of this genus is remarkable.

CONIFERyE- THE PINE FAMILY.

A large Order of trees and shrubs abundantly pre- duced in the temperate and cold latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The tribe Arancariem is mostly confined to the southern hemisphere, viz., AustraUa, New- Zealand and South America. Leaves small, rigid, needle- hke or broadly subulate. Flowers unisexual, in catkins or cones, according to sex. The family is divided into six or more, well-defined tribes. Woods of Casuarina equisetifolia bear a striking resemblance to the pine forests of northern regions, and in this respect are grateful to European denizens. I'he rapid spread of this tree,, in some localities, will greatly improve the landscape features of the plains.

abounds in tropical and sub-tropical parts, of the world,

' , •while ground orchids' are more abundant in temperate regions. The diagnostic characters of the family are marked by tubers, or, in the case of aerial orchids, pseudobulbs, very handsome irregular flowers, gynandrous stamens, and an inferior ovary. But for closer observation the student must obtain a key to the Tribes and numerous sub-tribes of this enormous family. Orchids abound largely in the hill tracts of India and Burn)ah, where many fine species are easily procured. There culti- ation tinder glass hasi proved so successful that, in Europe,^' they are now the most fashionable flowers of the day. The genus Vanilla affords an aromatic fruit which commands a high market value. It may be, seen in local gardens, as also the operation of fertilising its flowers, which is necessary to produce the fruit.

FILICES. THE FERN FAMILY.

This large Order of herbs afld trees is represented in nearly all parts of the inhabited globe, but its arborescent forms^—tree ferns—are confined to tropical and sub-tropical regions. Being much domesticated in gardens, it follows that the student can easily procure liv- ing specimens for dissection and study. Ferns are flowerless plants.
