Abstract
THE Journal of Botany for January contains a useful paper by Mr. Arthur Lister on the cultivation of the Mycetozoa from spores. Mr. George Murray and Mr. C. Bucknall contribute a discussion on the question whether the box, Buxus sempeivirens, is a native of Britain. They conclude that this is unquestionably the case with the locality near Wootton-under-Edge, an adjacent farm having been known as “Boxwell” for at least seven centuries. This increases the probability of the shrub being indigenous also in other localities, including Boxhill, near Dorking. Mr. W. Carruthers and Miss A. Lorrain Smith have a paper on a disease in turnips caused by bacteria. Prof. Potter has named the bacterium Pseudomonas destructans.
