156 Floristlk und Systematik der Phanerogamen 



The forms considered are K- splendens, Druce, the two subspecies 

 K- arenaria, Dutnort and AT. albescens DC. of K- glaiica DC, K gracilis 

 Pers. and our K. cristata. A new hybrid K- arenaria X gracilis Domin 

 in lit. (X K. supraarenarla) is described. Dr. Dom in finds that our 

 K- cristata is not identical vvith the true species and first regarded it as a 

 subspecies villosula ; subsequently however he considers it to be a good 

 geographica! subspecies, for which he suggests the name K- brltannica, 

 the diagnosis and distribution of which in England is given in the 

 present paper. F. E. Fritsch.

Aspenila odorata L. (Acta Hort. Botan. Univ. Imp. Jurjev. 



Vol. VI. Fase. 2. 1905. p. 87—89. Russisch.) 



Nach langjährigen Beobachtungen im Epiphanschen Kreise des 

 Gouv. Tula konstatierte Verf._, dass Asperiila odorata L. nur in einem 

 einzigen Walde (A r s s e nj e w - Lj e s s) vorkommt. Dieses Vorkommen 

 stellt Verf. in Zusammenhang mit den Baumarten dieses Waldes, wo 

 Fraxlniis excelsior die Hauptrolle spielt und andere Arten, wie Quercus pe- 

 dunculata, Populiis treniula und Betula alba seltener sind, als in an- 

 deren Laubwäldern der Gegend. Da Fraxinus sehr grosse Laubblätter 

 hat_, die frisch und lebendig vom Baume abfallen, so bietet solcher Wald, 

 wie Verf. meint, specielle Bedingungen für die Humusbildung und 

 das soll die Ursache des Vorkommens von Asperula odorata sein.""
