EF^YTt^E^sV 



A MONTHLY journal of Botany, West Amer- 

 ican and general, devoted to every department 

 of botanical investigation and criticism. 



While the articles on the general and special 

 morphology and classification of Pacific Coast 

 plants impart to the journal a West-American 

 character, papers on physiological botany, 

 geographical distribution and general topics 

 will constantly be given place. Not the least 

 interesting feature of the issues are the 

 short articles, news notes, open letters and com- 

 ments on current literature. 



It is proposed in the early ensuing numbers to 

 publish engravings of a considerable number of 

 Californian plants which have, heretofore, been 

 inadequately studied, imperfectly described and 

 poorly or not at all illustrated. Another fea- 

 ture of interest will be historical papers on 

 Californian Botany and Botanists. 



The subscription price is $1.50 per year in 

 advance ; to Great Britain and the continent of 

 Europe, 7 shillings. Single copies, 25 cents. 

 No discount to dealers.
