Abstract
Journal of Botany, March.—Under Limonium Mr. E. S. Salmon discusses the varieties and synonyms which Hooker, in his “Student's Flora,” places together under Statice auriculaefolia.—The fresh-water algæ reviewed bv Messrs. W. West and G. S. West are mostly small Chlorophyceæ, and include five new species and a new genus, Polychætophora.—The notes on Myricaceæ contributed by Dr. Rendle were prompted by a rearrangement of the British Museum-plants consequent upon Chevalier's recent revision of the group, whereby certain forms are separated from Myrica to form the new genera Gale and Comptonia.—The diagnoses presented by Mr. Spencer Moore refer to new sympetalous plants collected in the Coolgardie district of W. Australia.—The following short articles occur:—“Rubi of the Neighbourhood of London,” by Rev. W. M. Rogers; “Lepidium Smithii,” var., by Mr. F. Townsend; “Possible Use of Essential Oils in Plant Life,” by Dr. G. Henderson.
