SHORT NOTES. 



Note on Pavonia. — Dr. Garcke, in the current number of 

 Engler's Botanhche Jahrburh (Feb. 11), has an interesting paper, 

 " Ueber einige Malvacengattungen," in which he makes remarks 

 on the four genera of the family — Sida, Atioda, Pavonia, and Hi- 

 biscus. His notes on certain obscure species of Sida are particularly 

 worthy of notice, and will be a great help in any future work on the 

 subject. On certain points I can hardly accept Dr. Garcke's con- 

 clusions, and in Pavonia he seems scarcely to have exhausted the 

 literature of the subject. Speaking of this genus {I.e. 392), he 

 criticises the number of species enumerated in the Kew Index, and 

 says that eight described since must be added to these. He seems 

 to take no note of P. cah/culina Frapp., P.fraterna Cordem. (both 

 from Bourbon), P. Schwackei Giirke (from Brazil), P. melanommata 

 Eob. & Seaf. (from Mexico), P. opidifoUa and P. Morongii S. Moore 

 (both from South America). There is possibly some good reason 

 for these omissions, but it is desirable that this should be made 

 clear. — E. G. Bakek. 



Wilts Kecoeds, 1895. — The principal additions have been 

 made by the Kev. W. Moyle Eogers, who has also in part recast 

 our existing list of Rubi. All the plants are new for S. Wilts, the 

 additions to the county flora being marked (W.). I have had the 

 usual kind help of specialists in verifying the critical plants : —
