This work is not of the class which needs a Preface. But to the Editors ofthe Pall Mall Gazette, Sunday Times, Black and White, Chambers’sJournal, Wide Wide World, and Badminton Magazine I am indebted forlicense to republish my stories of Orchid-seeking, and it is pleasant toacknowledge their courtesy. If those tales amuse the general reader, Itrust that other portions of the work will be found not uninteresting, noreven unprofitable, by orchid-growers. Plain descriptions of scarce speciesand varieties are not readily accessible. A mere list of the hybrids inthe Woodlands collection would be found useful, pending the issue of thatinternational catalogue which must be undertaken shortly; but beyond thisI have noted the peculiarities of colour and form in such of the progenyas seemed most curious. No doubt many experts will wish that I haddescribed some which are passed over and omitted some described—withoutagreeing among themselves in either case perhaps. But I have done my best.
