paticte, Mosses, Equisetacece, Ferns, with their allies, the Zamite, Rhi- 

 zanthece, Glumacea, Restiacete, and the rest of the monocotyledonous 

 plants included in the first four sections. The section Acramphi- 

 brya, we presume, corresponds with the Dicotyledones, of which 

 the first cohort is Gymnosperimle, including the Coniferce, &c. ; the 

 second cohort Apetaljs, (including Monochlamydece,) and the third 

 cohort is Gamopetal^e ; commencing with Plumbaginece, which is 

 immediately followed by the class called Aggregate, comprising 

 Valerianece, Dipsacea and Composites, which latter occupy a good 

 part of the fifth, the whole of the sixth, and a portion of the seventh 

 part, which breaks off with the Rubiacece. 



As an accompaniment to the above work, the same learned author 

 is editing an 



' Iconographia Generum Plantarum,' of which we regret that only 

 the first fasciculus, with twelve plates in 4to, has reached our hands ; 

 but three parts, we understand, if not four, are published. Under 

 the superintendence of so accomplished a botanist as M. Endlicher, 

 and with engravings from the drawings of the late Frederic Bauer, 

 the companion of Mr. Brown during his researches in Australia, it 

 will not surprise our readers if we speak of this work as of first-rate 

 importance in the botanical world. The figures are in outline, and 

 the analysis very full and satisfactory. Tab. 1. represents a most 

 remarkable Fungus (one of the Gasteromycetes Phalloidei), Ascrbe 

 pentasticlina, Endl. Tab. 2. Coelachne pulchella, Br. Tab. 3. A n-

Icones Flora Germanics, sive Collectio compendiosa Imaginum cha- 

 racteristicarum omnium Generum atque Specierum quas in sua Flora 

 Germanica recensuit Auctor Ludovicus Reichenbach. 



Under this title Dr. Reichenbach has long been conducting at 

 Leipzig a very extensive work, of which twelve centuries are com- 

 pleted, and which contain an immense number of coloured figures, 

 with ample dissections, of German plants ; and seeing how nearly 

 the Flora of Britain is related to that of the German empire, we 

 cannot but regret that this valuable publication is not so well known 

 among our countrymen as it deserves to be. As far as the tenth 

 century, the plates were generally each devoted to a single species,
