Safford. W. E., The genus Avinona: the derivation of its 

 name and its taxonomic subdivisions. (Journ. Wash. Acad. 

 Sc. I. p. 118—120. 1911.) 



Annona, and not Anona, must be the name used for the name 

 used the genus. It was published in the first edition of the Species 

 Plantarum (1753) from which modern binomial nomenclature takes 

 its origin; and it is equivalent to Plumier's genus Guanahanus. 

 The name of the famil)^ must also preserve its original form Amio- 

 naceae, as published by Richard in 1808; not Anonaceae as pu- 

 blished by Dunal in 1817 and by De Candolle in 1818. 



In conforming with modern botanical usage the author proposes 

 the following names for the subdivisions of the genus: 



Section I. Euannona. As t3''pe A. niuricata\ contains further A. 

 montana, A. glahra, A. Purpuren, A. iincinata. 



Section II. Atta. Type A. squamosa, and further A. cherimolia, 

 A. longiflora, A. reticiilata, A. sclerodevma. 



Section III. Ilarna. Type A. inacroprophyllata , and besides this 

 A. diver sifolia. 



Section IV. AnnoneUn. Type A. glohiflora, and A. palmeri.

Sapgent, C. S., Plwitae Wtlsoniaiiae. An enumeration of the 

 Woody plants collected in Western China for the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum of Harvard Universitv during the 

 years 1907, 1908 and 1910 by E. H. Wilso'n. (Publ. Arnold 

 Arboretum, N». 4, Pars III. p. 313—611, with Preface, Table of 

 Contents and Index to Vol. I. 1913.) 



In the Plantae Wilso}iianae is found an account of the specimens 

 collected by Wilson in his journeys 1906—1909 and 1910 — 1911, 

 with descriptions of new species and varieties, and the enumeration 

 of several important groups as they are represented in China. The 

 first volume contains the enumeration of about one-half of Wilson's 

 Arboretum collections. There are described two new genera, two 

 hunrdred and twenty-five new species and one hundred and sixty- 

 two new varieties of woody plants. A great part of the work has 

 been done at the Arboretum, another part by a number of European 

 specialists. 



The third part of the book contains following families:
