Bourgeau’s Plants of the Canary Islands. 
: Scarcely are M. Bourgeau’s beautiful collections of dried plants made 
in Spain during the past year (1854) named and distributed, than 
this indefatigable naturalist has embarked (December 17th) upon 
. another expedition to the Canary Islands, where we have no doubt he 
— will explore localities that have been little, if at all, visited, and where 
t be will make further additions to the Flora Canariensis ; and he expects 
to gather about four hundred species, “les plus spéciales de ces iles." 
 K is his intention, we have just heard, on the present occasion, to 
. collect seeds and living as well as dried plants; and any persons desi- 
- rous of receiving the one or the other may address themselves, during 
— M. Bourgeau's absence, to M. Cosson, No. 12, Rue du Grand-Chantier, 
- Paris.

of exploring the Botany of Sicily during the spring and summer of the 
present year (1855). He hopes, by his familiarity with the Flora of 
Sicily, and by the indications that he will receive from M. Gussone, to 
eap a rich and interesting harvest of plants. As many of the plants
