 PRESS REVIEWS 



" This edition of Babington's well-known flora is one of the best for the 

 use of students in the field. The descriptions are concise yet detailed, and 

 the more important features are in italics. It is especially valuable as the 

 plant names have been brought up-to-date by a critical systematist, and an 

 appendix has been added embodying the more important additions to our 

 knowledge of the British flora ; this appendix includes a conspectus of the 

 Rubi fruticosi, reprinted from ^Nloyle Rogers' Handbook of the British 

 Rubi. ' ' — Education. 



"We welcome an up-to-date edition of this excellent standard work on 

 our British flora. Few words are necessary to recommend this volume to 

 the student and field botanist. It is essentially a reprint of the last edition, 

 but the nomenclature has been thoroughly revised in accordance with the 

 latest ideas, while an appendix has been added which includes the most 

 important additions to our knowledge of British flowering plants. To those 

 readers who are unfamiliar with " Babington," it maybe interesting to point 

 out that the work has several features peculiarly its own, e.g.., an excellent, 

 though concise, account of the various aquatic forms of Crowfoot (Ranun- 

 culus), and fairly exhaustive accounts of the different genera Rubus, Rosa, 

 and Hieracium, founded upon the monographs of Babington, Moyle Rogers, 

 and Hanbury. By the use of thin India paper, rounded corners, and good 

 flexible binding, this masterly volume, although containing over 600 pages, 

 slips easily into the ordinary coat pocket, and may thus be carried with the 

 utmost convenience into the field." — The Scottish Xaturalist.
