Neither docs it belong to the Euphorhiaceac with which it has much in common. Until 

 more and better material is forthcoming, it must remain unassigned to any family. — K. M.

2979. Gilg, Ernst, and Rudolf Schlechter. Ueber zwei pflanzengeographisch interes- 

 sante Monimiaceen aus Deutsch-Neu-Guinea. [On two geographically interesting Moni- 

 miaceae from German New Guinea.] Bot. Jahrb. 55: 195-201. 2 fig. 1918. — Through the 

 rich Ledermann material, it has been possible to show that the genera Trimenia, Piptocalyx, 

 and Xymalos are true Monimiaceae, a fact about which Bentham and Hooker and also Perkins 

 and Gilg were in doubt. It is shown, through statistics from the various genera of the Moni- 

 miaceae, that there is here good evidence in support of the contention that the flora of the 

 Polynesian Islands, with the exception of Hawaii, and that of northern Australia are exten- 

 sions of the very characteristic Papuan flora. They are in fact a relic of that flora. Trimenia 

 and Piptocalyx are especially discussed. T. papuana Ridl. is redescribed, and P. macrurus 

 is described as new. Previously there was but one species known in each genus. — K. M. 

 Wiegand. 



2980. Godfery, M. J. "Epipactis media (Fries!)" Bab. Jour. Botany 57: 80-83. 1919. 

 — A discussion of the E, media of Babington, and the subsequent incorrect application of this 

 name in English botany. The confusion of E. viridiflora, atrorubens and latifolia is discussed. 

 Material from the original locality of E. media was studied, and the conclusion reached that 

 it was E. viridiflora Reich. Its first record as a British plant was by Leichton in 1835. 

 "The subsequent application of the name E. media to specimens of E. latifolia with rugose 

 bosses appears to have been founded on a misapprehension, and the term E. media should 

 now disappear from British botany, except as a synonym of E. atrorubens" with which it 

 was confused. — K. M. Wiegand. 



2981. Henrard, J. Th. Galeopsis, een sytematisch-floristische studie. [Galeopsis, a 

 systematic and floristic study.] Nederland, Kruidkundig Arch. 1918: 158-188. May, 1919. — 

 To be continued. — Monograph of the species and the varieties of the genus with keys, descrip- 

 tions, and critical notes. Nine new varietal names and new subspecies and subvarieties are 

 referred to. — /. A. Nieuwland. 



2982. Henriksson, J. Om Corylus Avellana. Supplementum I. (Swedish, with Latin 

 diagnosis.) Bot. Notiser 1918:297-299. 3 fig. 1918. — Six new varieties are described. — 

 P. A. Rydberg. 



2983. Hole, R. S. A new species of Ixora. Indian Forester 45:15-16. 1919. — Ixora 

 Butter wickii, allied to /. spectabilis Wall, and I. pendula Jack, is described from the Palwe 

 Reserve in the Yamethin district of Burma. A fuller description with illustrations is shortly 

 to be published in the Indian Forest Records. — J. R. Schramm.

2985. Holmberg, Otto R. Carex diandra X paniculata, en for Scandinavien ny hybrid. 

 [Carex diandra X paniculata, a new hybrid for Scandinavia.] [Swedish.] Bot. Notiser 1918: 

 249-252. 1 fig. 1918. — The specimens were found at Lomma, province of Skane, Sweden. 

 As these specimens differed somewhat from the original ones from Germany, the author 

 compares them with the parents, which were not typical forms of said species, but f. tenella 

 of the former and f. simplex of the latter. — P. A. Rydberg. 



2986. House, Homer D. A small collection of plants from central New York, collected 

 by Dr. Asa Gray, 1832. (Rept. of the State Botanist, 1917.) New York State Mus. Bull. 

 205-206: 10-13. 1918— A list of 127 species collected in May, 1832, at Utica, Little Falls, and 

 Paris, New York, together with a letter giving historical data. — Alfred II. W. Povah.
