In the following enumeration all the Flowering Plants collected by Dr. Sven Hedin
during his travels in Inner Asia in the years between 1894 and 1907 have been
arranged according to Engler's system.

To the name of each species are added the place and date of its publication and
references to some general botanical works (J. D. Hooker, Flora of British India;
Ledebour, Flora Rossica; etc.), otherwise only the necessary quotations. Further
the botanical papers on collections from the same areas, viz. the Pamir area and
the Tibetan area, are quoted. Where a general compilation of the botanical data
exists, e. g. Fedtschenko, »Flore du Pamir«, and Hemsley, »Flora of Tibet«, no
reference is made to earlier papers.

After these quotations the locality where Dr. Hedin collected the species in
question is given and also a note as to its reproductive condition (flowering or fruiting).

Subsequently there follow taxonomic notes and a short statement of the
geographical area of the species, as far as this is known.

In order to get the list as complete as possible we have made use of the
earlier publications upon Hedin's plants, namely W. B. Hemsley and H. H. W. Pearson's
list in »Petermanns Mitteilungen« (1900), but Dr. Hedin has furnished us with fuller
details as regards the localities; further a paper on Potamogetonaceæ from Asia by
the Rev. I. O. Hagström (in Botan. Notiser 1905), and a paper by Dr. Sv. Murbeck
on two new gentians (in Österr. Bot. Zeitschr. 1899).

In this way we believe we have collected in one place all the records on the
Flowering Plants brought home by Dr. Hedin.

As mentioned in the preface specimens belonging to some of the plant families
had been sent to the Berlin Museum more than a decade ago and were partly named
there. We have always made use of the names given there, and in case of the families
Umbelliferæ, Leguminosæ and Gramineæ we have sent them to Berlin again where
Drs. L. Diels, H. Harms, R. Pilger and E. Ulbrich have reexamined the material
and definitely named them for us. We wish to express our hearty thanks to these
gentlemen for the valuable assistance given.

Amongst the other botanists who have assisted us, we wish to mention the
Rev. I. O. Hagström who named the Potamogetonaceæ, the late Dr. O. von Seemen
and the late Mr. Th. Wolf, who named or revised Salicaceæ and Potentillæ
respectively.
