118 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
WarPzns' Repertorium Botanices Systematice. 
In connexion with the “ Prodromus" of De Candolle, we 
have the pleasure of announcing the completion of the second 
volume of Walper? Repertorium ; a work, the scope and 
object of which were explained in the fourth volume of 
the * Journal of Botany,” p. 206. The author follows, most 
judiciously, the exact arrangement of De Candolle, of which 
his work may be considered a Supplement. He copies the 
characters of the species published by different writers since 
the appearance of the volumes of the * Prodromus," and he 
refers to descriptions and figures: so that his book, arranged 
typographically with the seven volumes of the * Prodromus," 
displays, in conjunction with them, a complete view of what is 
known of about one half of the vegetable kingdom. The fourth 
part of the second volume terminates with the Monotropee, 
the last Order in the ** Prodromus :" and, that nothing may 
be wanting of all that is known to the date of publication, 
(November, 1843,) a further Supplement is given, including 
species of the several Orders from Ranunculacee to Gesne- 
riace?, which have appeared during the progress of the work 
from 1842: and so great are our acquisitions in that period, 
due especially to the labours of Boissier, Jaubert and Spach, 
Fenzl Meisner, Bentham, Torrey and Gray, &c., &c., that 
one hundred and fifty-six closely printed pages are occupied 
by this first Supplement. An Index of the Genera and their 
synonyms concludes the second volume. 
EnpuicHer’s Genera Plantarum. 
This laborious and important work, appreciated by every 
botanist, was commenced in 1836, and the volume, a mine 
of useful knowledge, was completed in 1840. Since that 
period three supplementary numbers have been published of 
new Genera; or corrections of, and additions to, those pre- 
viously published. The third of these, now before us, 15
