KOEHNE, Emil, Lythrum rlviilare Wood and Evans. (Journal 

 of Botany, London. XL. 1902. p. 68—69.) 



In the 39th volume of the Journal of Botany, p. 172, a description 

 of the plant named above, was copied from a Natal report. Dr. Koehne 

 points ont that it is a species of Nesaea, „Lythrum rivnlare (potius 

 Nesaea rivnlaris)" and inquires whether it has four or eight stamens, 

 suggesting that it is probably only a form of the ver'y variable 

 L. sagittifolia. A review is also given of the eight species now known 

 of the section Salicariastriim of the genus Lythrum.
