Von den beigegebenen Tabellen zeigt die eine die durch- 

 schnittliche Jahres-, die höchste und niedrigste Temperatur, sowie 

 die Summe der Niederschläge in den Karpathen, während auf der 

 zweiten die Verbreitung und Zahl der Arten den jedesmaligen 

 Höhen entsprechend zum Ausdruck gelangt und die Karte schliesslich 

 stellt das Beobachtungsterrain dar. Die Arbeit ist der wichtigste 

 Beitrag zur Kenntniss der Karpathenflora, der seit Wahlenberg 's 

 Zeiten von einem Autor geliefert worden ist.

Diagnose einer neuen Gattung und Art aus Guatemala, die 

 mit Eulophus und Muscinopsis in naher Verwandtschaft steht. 



Dennelsmithia. — Calyx obsolete. Fruit roundish - ovate , glabrous, 

 strongly flattrend laterally. Carpel flattrend laterally with equal filiform ribs, 

 the intermediates distant from the latrials and a thin pericarp with no strang- 

 thening cells (or the merest trace). Stylopodium wanting. Oiltubous numerous, 

 rather large, almost contiguous about the carpel, those of the commissural face 

 more crowded and offen larger-seed invested by an oil-se creting layer which 

 may develop small tubes, especially in the commisural region, the face with a 

 seep and narrow sulcus. 



Slender glabrous perennial from rather slander elongated roots, with terna- 

 tely Compound leaves, narrow mostly entire leaflits, with involucre mostly present 

 and no involucels, and yellow flowers in widely spreading loose umbels which 

 are long-peduncled or sessile. 



D. Guatemalensis. Glaucous : stem erect, simple or branched 8 to 30 in 

 high : leaves mostly near the base long-petioled, twice a thrice ternate, with 

 lanceolate to oblong leaflets (lVs to 2 in long, 3 to 6 lines broad), mostly entire 

 and with revolute callous margin: umbels on long divergent slender peduncles 

 or the latter often sessile, 5 or 6-rayed, with involucre mostly present and of 

 3 or 4 trifid bracts ; rays 1 to 2 in long; pedicels 2 to 3 lines long: fruit round- 

 ovate, 1 to l 1 ^ lines long.
