BOTANICAL NEWS. 



We are glad to learn that the Woolhope Naturalists' Field 

 Club has commenced the publication of the flora of the county of 

 Hereford, and it is hoped tliat the volume will be in the hands 

 of the members by the end of the summer. A summary of the 

 plants found in the county was published in the Transactions of 

 the Club so far back as 1867, but the completion of the flora, for 

 various reasons, was unavoidably postponed. The work will be 

 edited by the Rev. Augustin Ley. It will be brought up to the 

 present time, and thus some amends be made to botanists by the 

 greater completeness attained.
