 und biübifera wird verworfen. Bryum Jaapianum ist nur eine schlankere 

 Form des Bryum Harrimani Card, et Ter. Philonotis crassicostata Wstf. 

 gehört in den Formenkreis der Philonotis serriata und macht den Ein- 

 druck einer Jugendform dieser Art. Diphyscium sessile var. acutifolium 

 Lindbg. bildet den Uebergang zu Diphyscium fasciculatum Mitt. von der 

 Insel Ceylon. Limnobium subeugyrium (Ren. et C.) zeigt nach Original-

 Limnobium simplicinerve (Lindb. steht in der Mitte zwischen Limnobium 

 ochraceum und polare {L'mdh.), letzteres steht dem Limn. ochraceum nahe.

Anonymus. Mr. Eyles's Rhodesian Plant s. (Journal of 

 Botany. Vol. XLIII. No. 506. February 1905. p. 44—54.) 



The plants described were coUected in Southern Rhodesia by 

 Mr. Fred Eyles, most of them being from the Matopo Hills, whilst 

 others were gathered at the Victoria Falls and near Buluwayo. 

 Englei astrum Schweinfurthii from the rain-forest^ Victoria FaUs^ 

 was previously known from Bo n g o 1 a n d and Angola. Several of the 

 Monocotyledons from the Matopo Hills (e. g. Burmannia bicolor var, 

 africana, etc.) indicate an affinity between the various South Tropi- 

 cal African mountain floras, whilst other species {t. g. Erlangea laxa) 

 connect the Fast African flora with the southern centres of distri- 

 bution. The South African element is a strong one. 



The following new names occur (Polypetalae by E. G. Baker; 

 Monopetalae by S. le M. Moore; Apetalae and Monocotyledons by A. B.

In certain parts of the above-named county a flora flourishes, which 

 differs very considerably from that of the surrounding country, and has 

 given rise to the name „clears", which however also applies to the par- 

 ticular rieh volcanic soil, upon which this flora thrives. In these parts 

 there is an absence of undergrowth of bushes and shrubs, wheras grass 

 is abundant (e. g. Anthistiria anstralis R. Br.), Eucalyptus hemiphloia 

 F. V. M. is always present on the „clears", although rather rare on the 

 surrounding sandstone. Certain plants, which are common on the latter, 

 on the other hand are wanting on the „Clears" and „Basalt Masses" 

 (e. g. Eucalyptus exiniia Schauer, E. Rossi Baker and Smith, species of 

 Melaleuca, Leptospermum, Proteaceous plants, such as Hakea, etc.. several 

 species of Epacrideae). — The general part of the paper is followed by 

 a list of the plants, met with in these localities with indications of their
