Frcippo PARLATORE ; “ FLoRA PALERMITANA, ossia Des- 
crizione delle Piante che crescono spontanee nella valle di 
Palermo." Part I. of Vol. I. 
This Part only includes a portion of the Grasses, but 
enough is done to show that it will add to the fame which the 
learned author has already earned for himself. It is in Latin, 
with some observations in Italian : and the descriptions ap- 
pear to be made carefully from the plants themselves. It would 
seem, however, hardly necessary for the author at p. 127 to 
introduce under Pappophoreaceæ, the subtribe ** Pappophoree, 
stigmatibus plumosis haud elongatis," and then add : * Non si 
trovano generi di questa sotto-tribù nelle graminacee di 
Palermo.” It reminds one of the chapter in Horrebow's 
History of Iceland * On Timber Trees," followed by the 
remark * there are no trees in all Iceland." 
FiLiPPo PARLATORE ; Monografia delle Fumariee.—Firenze, 
1844. 
A little volume of rather more than 100 pages, containing 
a very elaborate history of the Fumarieæ group of Fumariacee, | 
including Fumaria, Bern., Platycapnos, Bern.,  Discocapnos, 
Cham. et Schlecht., and Sarcocapnos, DC. No new Genera, 
nor even species, are added; but the synonomy is worked out 
with great care and the species settled on firmer bases than 
hitherto.
