BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, dc. 



The Annuaire du Conservatoire el du Jardin hotani(]aes de Geneve, 

 of wbicb the first volume has just made its appearance, is the 

 official organ of the institutions referred to. This first instalment 

 contains papers by M. C. Arvet-Touvet on Hieracia and on a new 

 genus (Crepidopsis) of Cichoriacece ; Prof. Crepin revises the roses 

 of some old Swiss herbaria ; Dr. Kranzlin describes two new 

 Habenarias ; and M. Briquet gives the Report of the Garden and 

 of the Delessert Herbarium for 1890. 



In the last part (Nov. 11) of the Bulletin de la Societe Funjale de 

 Botanique de Behjijue Messrs. Durand & De Wildeman begin what 

 is likely to be an important contribution to our knowledge of African 

 plants, under the title " Materiaux pour la Flore du Congo." The 

 help of numerous specialists has been obtained — among these we 

 note Dr. Stapf, who will undertake the Apocijnea;, except the genus 

 Laudolphia, which will be contributed by " M. le directeur Thyselton 

 Dyer." Dr. Dyer has been working at Tjandolpliia since 1882, and 

 was engaged in monographing it in 1893, so it may be hoped that 

 before long the elaboration of the genus (which is not a large one) 

 may be completed. Three excellent plates accompany the paper in 

 the Bulletin.
