A SECOND CENTURY OF ORCHIDACEOUS PLANTS, selected from the subjects
published in Curtis’ ‘Botanical Magazine’ since the issue of the
‘First Century.’ Edited by JAMES BATEMAN, Esq., F.R.S. Royal 4to.
Parts I. to III., each with 10 Coloured Plates, 10_s_. 6_d_., now
ready.
During the fifteen years that have elapsed since the publication of the
‘Century of Orchidaceous Plants,’ now out of print, the ‘Botanical
Magazine’ has been the means of introducing to the public nearly two
hundred of this favourite tribe of plants not hitherto described and
figured, or very imperfectly so. It is intended from these to select “a
Second Century,” and the descriptions, written at the time of
publication by Sir W. J. Hooker, will be edited, and in many cases
re-written, agreeably with the present more advanced state of our
knowledge and experience in the cultivation of Orchidaceous plants, by
Mr. Bateman, the acknowledged successor of Dr. Lindley as the leading
authority in this department of botany and horticulture.
