Hoptiinsla and Harperia are new genera of the Restiaceae. The 

 former is remarkable in having bilocular anthers with a l-cel!ed ovary 

 and simple style ; the male plant has the androecium of an Anartfiria^ 

 the female the gynoecium of a Loxocarya. Harperia difiers on the one 

 hand from Loxocarya in the simple stems, on the other hand from 

 Lepidobotus in the persistent sheathing scales; the numerous axillary 

 and terminal solitary spikelets and the biflorous female spikelet mark it 

 off from both the genera last named. 



A number of new records of plants for Western Australia 

 form the second part of the paper. F. E. Fritsch. 



HoOKER, Sir J. D., n the s p e c i e s o f Impafiens in the 



Wallichian Herbarium of the Linnean Society. 



(Journal of the Linnean Society. Vol. XXXVIl. No. 257. 



1904. p. 22—32.) 



The representative of Impatiens in this herbarium amount to 48 

 thicketed species (No. 4729—4775 and 7274, 7275) and they foreshadow the 

 remarkable segregation into the severa! phytographical regions of I n d ia ,^ 

 which is exhibited by the British Indian species. Thus only one 

 (l. Balsaniina L.) is common to all the 5 regions (Eastern Hima- 

 leyan, Western Himaleyan, Burmese. Malabarian, Ceylo- 

 nese and Malayan Peninsula); of the 18 Malabarian only three 

 were found in other regions and so on. — In many cases two or more 

 species are fastened down ander one number and name or one species 

 occurs under several numbers and it is the object of the author to alie- 

 viate these difficulties for those wishing to consult the Balsams in the 

 Wallichian Herbarium. — The special part of the paper contains an 

 enumeration of the species with observations and also an index to the 

 species. One of the Nepal specimens, collected by Wallich in 1821 

 was found to be undescribed and is given the name I. praetermissa n. sp.

Rendle, A. B., Mr. Hesketh Prichard's Patagonian 

 Plauts. (Journal of Botanv. Vol. XLH. No. 503. No- 

 vember 1904. p. 321—334. Plate 4fc.5.) 



These plants were collected on the B u r m e i st e r Peninsula, situated 

 at the western end of Lake Argentino, and attaining a height .of 

 4725 ft. in M t. Buenos Aires. The plants represent in part a pampas 

 flora, in part the flora of the open mountain slopes^ and in part the 

 mountain forest flora. They include two distinct elements; an Andine 

 element, represented by a number of Chilian plants (e. g. Stipa pogona- 

 tttera, Carex inconspicua, etc.) and of widely distributed Western 

 American mountain types (e. g. Relbnninm piisittum, etc.); and se- 

 condly an Antarctic element, represented by many Fuegian or extreme 

 south Patagonian types (e. g. Riimex magetlaniciis, Lychnis magettanica) 

 and a few more widely distributed antarctic species (e. g. Trisetnm siib-
