Abstract
IN the Journal of Botany for February Dr. Trimen describes one of the most interesting additions recently made to the British flora, Juncus pygmœus, a well-known European species, discovered by Mr. W. H. Beeby in the already very rich locality of Kynance Cove, Cornwall. The article is accompanied by a good drawing. Mr. J. G. Baker gives a description of the little known Rosa appennina. In geographical botany Dr. W. M. Hind contributes a list of plants of North Cornwall. Mr. W. Phillips's notes on the blue reaction given by iodine in certain fungi may furnish a useful discrimination of difficult species. In the March number Mr. Worthington Smith gives a description, with coloured plate, of several new Hymenomycetous fungi from stoves; and Mr. J. A. Lees a useful paper on the peculiarities of plant-distribution in the neighbourhood of Leeds. Dr. H. F. Hance has an article on the “Ch'ing Muh Hsiang” or “Green Putchuk” of the Chinese, derived from a species of Aristolochia, the paper being illustrated by a copy of a native drawing. In both these numbers are also a variety of selected articles, short notes, and memoranda. We are glad to see this interesting journal taking so increasingly useful a place among our scientific periodicals.
