The present work has been undertaken to give a complete general 

 information about the Formosan flora; basing it upon the foUowing 

 materials: 1) Herbarium in the Science College; 2) CoUections by 

 the Rev. U. Faurie; 3) Herbarium in the Sapporo Agricultural Col- 

 lege; 4) CoUections b}^ the Formosan Government. In this work, the 

 authors endeavoured to include all the species which were accessible 

 to them. Nor did they omit to mention any plant recorded in the 

 literature up to this date. Localities. collectors, dates w^ere recorded 

 and new species, some tweniy or more, with description and figure, 

 are given. On the whole, nearly two thousand species have been 

 thus enumerated. An alphabetical index of the species alluded to, 

 included as well as excluded, was added. A map was annexed to 

 the volume, and the routes of the different collectors were shown in 

 Order to make it easy to find the actual position of the localities. 

 Thus generali}" speaking, the work gives a complete view of the 

 present State of the Flora of Formosa. B. Hayata.

 Orto Bot. Napoli. Vol. IL p. 123—131. Tav. I. 1904.) 



L'auteur expose les raisons pour lesquelles la Tulipa apula Guss. 

 recueillie par Gussone dans les päturages de la Pouille lui semble 

 une espece bien distincte des Tulipa praecox, maleoleus, Martelliaiia 

 et motitana. Cette Tulipe derive peut-etre de l'union hj^bride de 

 quelque tulipe d'orgine asiatique, comme les Tulipa praecox et 

 montarm. A. F. Pavolini (Florence).
