tip to the present the only form recognised for this species. Trees of 

 E. mclanophloia, having all lanceolate leaves, are not readily distinguished 

 l'rom those of E. microtheca, since the barks are also similar; the fruits 

 are however quite distinct. The latter species shows no such variability 

 in the foliage, as is found in E. mclanophloia (and also in E. ilivcs Schau., 

 E. Riscloni Hook. f.). The author agrees with Bentham in considcring 



E. crebra F. v. M. to be an alternate-leaved state of /:'. mclanophloia 



F. v. M. A new description of the latter species is added.

Strauch er in Ortsnamen der deutschen Schweiz. 



(Beilage zum Jahresbericht der höheren Lehranstalt in Luzern 



für das Schuljahr 1901/02. 4°. Luzern 1902. 86 pp.) 



Die vorliegende Arbeit enthält eine sehr einlässliche Zusammen- 

 stellung der Ortsnamen, die sich von Bäumen und Sträuchern ableiten 

 lassen. Verf. hofft, damit nicht nur der Sprachforschung, sondern auch 

 der Pflanzengeographie und Culturgeschichte einen Dienst zu 

 leisten In nicht seltenen zweifelhaften Fällen führt er die verschiedenen 

 möglichen und bisher versuchten Deutungen an, ohne sich immer für die 

 eine oder andere zu entscheiden. Ein alphabetisches Register der Orts- 

 und Pflanzennamen erleichtert das Nachschlagen.

(The Gardener's Chronicle. Vol. XXXII. 3d. series. 1902.

E. delicatum is very similar to E. Iruncalum, but differs in the more 

 erect habit, the stronger toothing of the branches, and the larger and 

 differently-coloured flowers, which are less oblique at the mouth of the tube
