Excerpt from Notes for the Amateur Botanist in the Philippines, Vol. 1 To many persons variously situated in the Philippine Islands any means, however limit ed, which seeks to give an insight to some of the general facts of plant life with 'special reference to Philippine conditions, may be welcome. NO effort is made herein to furnish a guide to the study of Philippine botany with any pretence of completeness, which neither the available data nor the public demand would warrant. The present purpose will be thoroughly served if adequate guidance or suggestion is found herein for a little botanical work where opportunity and inclination already exist. It is with a desire to furnish such means, by suggestion rather than by explicit direction, that this publication has been put out.
