BOTANICAL INFORMATION, — 
Death of M. REQUIEN. 
We regret to find the death of M. Requien, of Avignon, announce 
in the French papers. He was much beloved, both in his native 
city, where he had always taken a very active part in the manage- 
ment of benevolent and charitable, as well as scientific, institu- 
tions, and by his numerous friends at Montpellier and other towns in 
the south of France. He had been on a visit to Montpellier early in 
April, from whence he went to Corsica, where he was carried off by 
apoplexy on the 30th of May, having lately completed his sixty-third 
year. His rich collections, chiefly of European plants, shells, and other 
departments of Natural History, were engaged during his life-time to 
be transferred on his death to a public institution, we believe in Avi- | 
gnon. He was in every respect a generous botanist ; and his liberality 
in distributing from his vast stores of French plants is known to all 
botanists who have visited the south of France, and to all who were in 
any way in correspondence with him.
