Abstract
THE ten volumes forming the subject of the present notice have appeared at intervals during the last two years. Six volumes deal with entire families, while four are confined to tribes. The tribe of the Calceolarieæ, represented by two small genera and Calceolaria, is collated by Dr. Franz Kränzlin. Fifty years ago these South American plants were in great request, but interest in collection and cultivation has waned until recently the collections of Dr. Weberbauer in Peru have furnished a number of new species. Basing his opinion on the well-known tendency of Calceolaria to hybridise, the author favours the view that natural hybrids occur, and appends a list of possible hybrids.
