Abstract
THE International Botanical Congress, held at Vienna on June 11–18, was an impressive demonstration of the activity of botany as a science, and of the enthusiasm of its adherents. Vienna is not the most central town for a meeting-place, but, nevertheless, more than six hundred botanists, men and women, representing nearly all the important, and many of the less important, botanical institutions of the world, met together there. As might have been expected, the central European element predominated, but there were a goodly number of Americans representing the southern and far western as well as the eastern States, while from the Far East came a deputation of two Chinese.
