 caceous Plants from ftew Caledonia and Tropical Australia. (J. L. Soubreran) 

 Some particulars respecting the Gums from Senegal. (M. Ch. Naudin) Observa- 

 tions on the formation of the Seeds without the aid of the Pollen. This description 

 of generation concerning which this paper gives numerous details, is (M. Berthold 

 Seeman says) best expressed by the term " Parthenogenesis," restricted, as has 

 already been done entomologically by 0. Th. E. Von Siebold, to the development 

 of the ovules, without the agency of the male principle — the ■* Lucina sine concu- 

 bitu" of the older naturalists — and not extended (as has been done by Professor 

 Owen) to the process of germination observable in certain esexual viviparous bugs. 

 M. Seeman has reviewed this question in two leading articles in the M Bonplandia," 

 January 5th and February 1st, 1857. We would also refer our readers to a notice 

 in our present number of Sieboki's " Wahre Parthenogenesis bei Schmetterlingen 

 und Bienen." Botanical Information. Notices of Books. 



No 98, March. — (R. T. Lowe) On Ranunculus Opticus, cortussefolius, and 

 grandiflorus. (George Bentham) On Professor Nees Von E^enbeck's genera of 

 Acanthaceas, in De Cantlolle's Prodomus. (II. Caspary) On Udora occidentalis 

 and Serpicula occidentalis. The valuable observations of Dr. Caspary settle the 

 question of the assumed native origin of the Anacharis Alsinasirum Bab. in 

 England, that plant being undoubtedly Pursh's Serpicula occidentalis, a species not 

 found in Europe, or anywhere in the old world, though abounding in both tempe- 

 rate and tropical America. We are informed that Dr. Caspary is about to 

 publish a revision of the Anacharidae, and a monograph of the Nymphaeaceae, of 

 the great value of which works we have little doubt. (B. Seeman, F.L.S.. &c.)
