fully Dr. Tiselius has been working at the order ; it was hoped 

 that he would have worked them out for this Flora, in which, how- 

 ever, his assistance is certainly acknowledged. One error should 

 be corrected, as it gives further publicity to a mistake in Lange's 

 ♦ Handbook of the Danish Flora.' Dr. Almquist has " Pota ino(/eton 

 pJantarjinea Du Croz (1818). P. colnatwn Horn, Fl. Danica, fas. 

 25 (1823)." The date oft. 1449 (P. colnatwn) is 1813, not 1823; 

 as Lauge himself shows in his Novum. Fl. Dan. p. 49. 



The OrckidecB are by Dr. Almquist. The genus Sparganmm (by 

 Neuman) is a model of what such an account should be ; the names 

 and synonymy are such, that we are in no doubt as to what is 

 intended. The JuncacecE. are by Lagerstedt and the editor. The 

 other collaborateurs are H. Hjelt, 0. Kihlman, E. Ljungstrom, A. 

 N. Lundstrom, N. H. Nilsson, L. Schlegel, F. Svanlund, and U. 

 B. Wittrock.

We note a recent addition to our local floras in the shape of a 

 small pamphlet of 15 pages entitled ' The Flora of Maidstone,' by 

 Henry Lamb. " It is not an exhaustive list," says the preface, 

 and this is true, for the Rushes, Sedges, and Grasses are excluded, 

 and there are no Cryptogams. "If the sale of the roots of the 

 Primrose is carried on to the extent it is now, in about twenty years 

 it will have become comparatively scarce." Primrose Leaguers, 

 please note !
