NOTICES OF BOOKS AND MEMOIKS. 31 



siDGcies are described. Ancrumia, Harv. MSS., and Trichlora, Baker, 

 areiiew genera of GiUiesiacecc , from Chili and Peru respectively ; 

 Heteraclme, Bentli., a new genus of Grasses founded on Poaahortlva, 

 E. Br. (H. Broimii, Bentli.) and H. GuUiveri, Bentli., the latter of 

 which is figured. There are also three species of Brown's genus 

 Neurachne ; and Mr. Bentham's recent labours among the Austrahan 

 Grasses are further illustrated by another new genus, Plagiosetum, 

 founded on Pennisetum refractiim, F. M., and by the reference of 

 the curious dioecious Neurachne 'paradoxa of Brown to Spinifex. 

 The figures are unfortmiately very far from satisfactory, either 

 botanically or artistically.
