BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 61 
day, and one who, ever ready to assist others in their inquiries, is 
unjust to his own extensive knowledge of plants, by not diffusing it 
more publiely abroad. 
The following classical address, from the Royal Bavarian Botanical 
Society of Regensburg, in a printed form, with the seal appended, 
has been presented to Mr. Brown, by Dr. Wallich, who was officially 
delegated for the occasion, and has a similar address for presentation 
to the Linnean Society at their next meeting. 
Viro eminentissimo, edoctissimo, emeritissimo, 
Domino Domino ROBERTO BROWNIO, D.C.L., 
Permultarum Societatum Literariarum Socio et Patrono, 
Er NurER LINNÆANÆ LONDINENSIS PRJESIDI ELECTO, 
Botanieorum Antistiti, 
Qui Antipodum Floram primus et pene solus digessit, 
Explorans fideliter quas et ipse legerat et alii reportarunt plantas, 
Qui complures Plantarum Familias Naturales ordine disposuit, 
Exquirens fortiter novas et neglectas generum notas, 
Qui Physiologiam Stirpium plurimis investigationibus dispunxit, 
Exponens feliciter morphoseos et geometrices botanicze leges, 
Qui reliquias Pristine Floree fossiles diseretim discussit, 
Expandens florenter intimam lignorum structuram, 
Qui denique hodiernz Phytographiz et Phytologize aperto discrimine 
Et pater et stator et auctor exstitit, 
Et, quod faustum nomen socio imposuit Germanorum Academia distineto, 
Ceu alter Raius per totum orbem famam sui dispersit, 
Honorem, quo et se ipsam et virum ornavit Societas Linnzana, 
Promovendo in sedem patroni divi Linnzi talem viearium, 
SocrETAs BoTANiCA RaTISBONENSIS REGIA 
; Piè gratulatur.

Mr. ZEYRER's South African Plants,

of plants, varying from 1,200 to 1,300 species in each set, of Southern 
Africa, collected by Mr. Zeyher, in various parts of the country, ex- 
tending from Namaqua Land to Macalisberg, are placed in the hands 
of Mr. Samuel Stevens, Natural History and General Agent, 24,
