BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 



Botteri's Mexican Plants. 



M. Botteri is well known to botanists — firstly, by his excellently pre- 

 pared plants of Dalmatia, and since, by a very considerable collection 

 of Mexican plants, the property of the Horticultural Society of London, 

 which were lately sold at the sale of the Herbarium of that Society, 

 and for which there was much competition, — partly due to the perfect 

 state of the specimens, and partly from the difficulty of procuring 

 Mexican plants at all. Several sets of similarly prepared species, 

 numbered and named by Dr. Seemann, varying in amount of species in 

 each set from 300 to 400 of flowering plants and Ferns, are placed 

 in the hands of Mr. Samuel Stevens, 24, Bloomsbury Street (W. C),
