THE 



JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



BRITISH AND FOREIGN, 



EDITED BT 



JAMES BRITTEN, K.C.S.G., F.L.S. 



LATE SENIOR ASSISTANT, DEPARTMENT OP BOTANY, BRITISH MUSEUM. 



The Journal of Botany was established in 1863 by Seemann. 

 In 1872 the editorship was assumed by Dr. Henry Trimen, who, 

 assisted during part of the time by Mr. J. Gr. Baker and Mr. Spencer 

 Moore, carried it on until the end of 1879, when he left England for 

 Ceylon. Since then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 



Without professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 

 Journal has from its inception filled a position which, even now, is 

 covered by no other periodical It affords a ready and prompt 

 medium for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly 

 and punctually on the 1st of each month. While more especially 

 concerned with systematic botany, observations of every kind are 

 welcomed. Especial prominence , has from the first been given to 

 British botany, and it may safefy be said that nothing of primary 

 importance bearing upon this subject has remained unnoticed. 

 Communications for publication and books for review should be addressed to 



The Editor, 41 Boston Road, Brentford.
