The author also includes a note on Velvitsia calycina, Hiern, 

 and gives a description of its fiower, hitherto imperffectly known, 

 showing that it has all the characters of Melasma. Gerardinia ango- 

 le}isis, Engl. var. gracilis, is a new variety from Angola. 



Nepenthandra, S. Moore, described in 1905 from material col- 

 lected in Tenasserim, is allied to Trigonostemon (Enphorbiaceae). 

 It is merged in this genus by Pax, but Moore shows that this 

 course is illogical. S. A. Skan.

In the new "Cambridge British Flora" it is proposed to alter 

 the numbers given by H. C. Watson and R. L. Praeger, to 

 facilitate reference to the "comital division" of Britain and Ire- 

 land for botanical purposes. The new arrangement is reached b3 T 

 merging smaller areas under one number. As a rule the county is 

 the botanical division, but in the case of several larger counties 

 these have been sub-divided. A list is given of the new divisions 

 and their numbers. The numbering proceeds from south to north: 

 England 1 -44, Wales 45-56, Scotland 57—94, Ireland 95—127.
