Garrya—The Fruit of. Edward L. Greene. (Pittonia, ii. 292,

Professor Greene points out that the fruit of this genus is cap- 
sular rather than baccate, and that the capsule has circumsessile 
dehiscence, and contends that this character, taken in connection 
with others, should exclude Garrya from the Cornacez.

Hloffmanseggia—Revision. of the North American Spectes of. E. 
M. Fisher. (Contrib. U. S, Nat. Herb. i. 143-150). 
The author recognizes seventeen species as occurring in the 
United States and Mexico, of which H. Zexensis, from Texas, H. 
glabra, from Lower California, and H. canescens, from Coahuila, 
are described as new. WH. stricta, Benth., is reduced to a variety 
of H. falcaria, Cav., and H. intricata, Brandegee, to a variety of 
ff. glabra. Numerous new varieties are described. 
Mr. Fisher does not discuss the relation of Hoffmanseggia to 
C@salpinia, other than remarking that A. caudata, A. Gray, is 
related to Cesalpinia “in respect to sepals, petals and pod.” It 
may be noted that M. Baillon has united the two genera in his 
“ Histoire des Plantes,” and material which we have recently re- 
ceived from Bolivia renders that position easily defensible.
