Abstract
THIS is a very interesting list of European plants introduced by various means into the two above-mentioned countries. It gives the relative abundance of each species and the conditions under which it is found. Altogether 116 Dicotyledons, 30 Monocotyledons, and 8 Cryptogams are mentioned. Of these no less than 108 are common to Britain. As might be expected, the natural orders Compositæ and Gramineæ, each with 20 species, and Caryophylleæ with 12, are the strongest in point of number of species. Many notes are scattered through the twenty-four pages, from which we learn that under such extremely different conditions some of our British plants attain extraordinary dimensions.
