Including Barrotia. To the species 

 described on pp. 16-18, Vol. III., the following should 

 be added: 



^o ^^^^*^?^S? (Auguste's). This is closely related to 

 r Kerchovei, Ihe leaves are larger and more densely serrated, 

 the nerves being green and denticulated, and the stem is 

 broader. Papua, 1886. (I. H. 1886, 612.) 



P. Grusonianus (Gmson's). I numerous, very narrowly linear- 

 lanceolate, -densely serrated from base to apex, the teeth brilliant 

 red. acute the midrib keeled below and slenderly spicate. 

 Stem short. Amirantes Islands, 1887. (I. H. ser. v. 12.) Syn ' 

 Barrotia Grxtsoniana. 



P. Kerobovei (Comte de Kerchove's). I. very narrow, attenuated 

 and acute at apex, densely toothed, the middle nerve keeled

 keeled above, confluent towards the apex ; teeth greyish-white 

 ?o?I^ ^ ^^A^""*^* attenuated. Amirantes Islands, 1886, (I. h! 



looo, 600.) 



PANICUM. To the species described on pp. 18-19, 

 Vol. III., the following variety should now be added : 



^;/'-!??^^!? japonicum (Japanese). A form of the common 



Millet, with pendulous inflorescences, cultivated in Turkestan 

 It IS Pro^^bly native throughout Eastern and Southern Asia.' 

 tu lift. (R. G. 1887, p. 278, f. 72.) 



PANSY. This has always been a favourite, not only 

 on account of the rich, brilliant, and varied colours, beau- 

 tifully contrasted with the softer shades, pale blue and 

 violet, but also for the sweet and very delicate perfume, 

 and because plants may be obtained in blossom during 

 every month in the year without forcing, but with the aid 

 of a garden frame during the time of frost and snow. No 

 plant sooner exhausts itself by blossoming; and as soon 

 as the flowers show evident signs of inferiority, the old 

 plants must be renovated by a rich surface-dressing, and 

 a succession of young ones must be maintained. The 

 recently-introduced varieties are all worthy of careful 

 culture. A few of the best are here given :
