 Wales. (Journal of Botany. Vol. XLIV. August 1906. p. 249

This paper treats of a coliection of marine algae made by 

 Mr. A. H. S. Lucas, which though small in number is interesting 

 on account of the rarity, size and good condition of the specimens. 

 The novelties described in the paper are two new species, Dictyota 

 prolificans and Gracilaria Liicasii, new varieties of Rliabdonia ro- 

 biista and Grateloupia fiUcina and a new form of Pterocladia lucida. 

 The cystocarps of Kallymenia tasinanica and of Grateloupia anstralis 

 have been found for the first time and the latter species, though publi- 

 shed in 1892, has remained a nomen nudum until now, but is descri- 

 bed in the present paper. The characters of the fertile frond of 

 Dictyota nigricans are shown in the plate, no figure of that plant 

 having been published before. Gracilaria Textorii, hitherto known 

 only from Japan is here recorded from New South Wales. 

 Notes by Mr. Lucas on the habit etc. of many of the specimens 

 are appended. E. S. Gepp-Barton. 



Groves, H. and J., On Cliaraceae from the Cape Peninsula 

 coliected bv Major A. H. Wolley-Dod, R. A. (Journal of 

 the Linnean Society London. Botany. Vol. XXXVH. 1906. 

 p. 285—287. Plate 11.) 



in this paper is described a small coliection of eight numbers, 

 representing seven species, made by Major Wolley-Dod in 1895 

 — 1897 on Table Mountain and the adjacent hüls, and the records 

 are published in the „List of Flowering Plauts and Ferns of the 

 Cape Pe n insu la", compiled by him in conjunction with Mr. Harry 

 Bolus. Among them are two of our common European species, 

 Cfiara fragitis and C. vulgaris, the rest being apparently endemic 

 to Africa and one being a new species C. tanygtoctiis, resembling 

 C fragilis. Like the dioecious C Kraussii, its relationship seems 

 to be rather with C fragilis and C. aspera than with other Diplo- 

 slichae, although the cortex is diplostichous rather than triplostichous. 

 Since the earlier half of last Century the Cliaraceae have been but 

 little coliected in Cape Colon y and Natal. The most interesting 

 feature of the Cliara-Üora. of Cape Colony is the presence of 

 species intermediate betvveen the two sections Diplosticliae and 

 Triplosticiiae, which in other parts of the world are fairly distinct.
