BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 303 



given to William Wilson, Esq., Breech Cottage, Warring- 

 ton, to Mr Pamplin, Jun., 9, Queen Street, Soho, London,

Notice of the Wurtemburg Unio Itineraria. 



The first part of Wilhelm Schiuiper's Botanical Treasures 

 from Abyssinia, viz., the plants collected in the neighbour- 

 hood of Adoa, " Plantse Adensis ; sectio prima,"' will here- 

 with reach the hands of the several subscribers ; and we feel 

 assured that these plants will be received by them with perfect 

 satisfaction ; — even should the further collections of this tra- 

 veller be lost, which, however, we have no reason to fear.

 calities of all the species with their determinations; these latter 

 have been worked at by ourselves, with the exception of the 

 Compositse, which are named on the authority of Dr Schultes 

 of Zweibrucken (Bipont.) 



It appears, according to the before mentioned determina- 

 tions, that there are found in the entire collection, not only 

 twenty new genera, but also more than two hundred hitherto 

 undescribed species, besides very many others highly interest-

 of Forskahl, published some time ago; partly the species re- 

 cently made known by Fresenius in the Museum Senken- 

 bero^ianum, or in the well known work of the English travel- 

 ler, Bruce : in the whole there are four hundred and twenty 

 numbers, and all those subscribers who have paid at least one 

 hundred and twenty florins, will receive four hundred species 

 or numbers by this means: the whole collection will be distri- 

 buted among the several claimants in as fair a proportion as
