150 Floristik und Systematik der Phanerogamen. 



The new species, described in the latter part of the paper, are 

 as follows : 



A. moschatum (distinguished from other species of sect. Lyco- 

 ctonu mby the upper sepal being navicular, obliquely erect); A. soon- 

 gariciim (very near to our A. Napellus, but differing in the small 

 size and shape of the tubers and the pecuhar long-braket helmet); 

 A. Hoo ke rl {w'ith a tendency to branch; nectary-hood strongly curved 

 and leaning forward, honey-gland basal); A. naviculare (near A. pal- 

 matiim etc., but distinguished by the persistent sepals round the 

 mature follicles and the dwarf stature) ; A. deinorrlüziim ; A. Bal- 

 foaril (the two last species are distinguished from the allied A. pal- 

 niatiun by the wide nectary-hood with a rather large lip and the 

 hairy carpels; in the former species inflorescence and carpels are 

 greyish pubescent and the latter are usually 3 in number; in ^4. Bal- 

 foiirii inflorescence and carpels are spreadingly yellowish tomentose 

 and the carpels are five); A. Falconeri (intermediate leaf division 

 rhomboid-cuneate, sparingly and coarsely incisi-crenate, nectary hood 

 much leaning forward, slightly widened at top, scarcely gibbous, car- 

 pels glabrous or nearly so); A. spicaium (intermed. leaf-division 

 mostly ovate in outline, copiously inciso-crenate or dentate, nectary 

 hood slightly leaning forward, distinctiy gibbous at the top carpels 

 villous); A. laciniafum (leaves divided almost to the very base, 

 ultimate divisions narrow, carpels mostly 3; follicles 18); A. hetero- 

 phylloides; A. leiicanthum (both the last are low plants, under half 

 a metre high, with slender, more or less angular stems; they differ 

 mainly in vegetative characters, the former being a more robust 

 plant); A. Elwe&ii (stem twining, flowers on recurved pedicels, 

 nodding; helmet conic-ovate in profile; approaches A. Hemsleyanum 

 Pritzel) ; A. Nagcinim (position uncertain, imperfectly known). 



The work concludes with a bibliography, a list of vernacular 

 names of Indian Aconites, and an index. Twenty five quarto plates 

 give excellent Illustration of the material described.

 Bresciano. (Commentari Ateneo Brescia. 1904. p. 153 — 163.) 



Dans cette enumeration de plantes nouvelles ou rares pour la 

 province de Brescia, il faut surtout signaler: Enphrasia salis- 

 burgensis Funck. var. Marchesetti Wettst., jusqu'ä present connue 

 seulement de l'I s t r i e , et Aphyllanthes mouspeliensis L., dont les 

 stations les plus proches, dans la Ligurie occ, ^taient jusqu'au- 

 jourd'hui consider^es comme les stations les plus orientales de cette 

 Liliacde eminemment mediterran^enne. R. Pampanini.

 No. 1008. 1906. p. 244.) 



Pleiirothallis Barbosana is allied to P. pliiriflora, but in the 

 new species, the sepals are sub-obtuse, and the two lobes are con- 

 vergent, whilst the leaves are narrower. The flowers are yellow and 

 in pluriflorous, distichous racemes. F. E. Fritsch.
