Abstract
DR. LOTSY has undertaken during recent years many voyages of exploration seeking evidence of the frequency of hybridisation in Nature in order to assess its role in the creation and perpetuation of the diversity in characterisation so abundantly observable. Recently, with his colleague, Dr. Goodijn, he visited South Africa, and in the volume under notice gives an account of the many things they saw. The first part of the story concerns itself with forty-three plant hybrids distributed over thirteen families.
