Prof. Todaro, of Palermo, has issued the first part of a folio work, 

 " Hortus botanicus Parnormitanus," to consist of descriptions and 

 coloured figures of new or critical plants cultivated in the Palermo 

 Garden. Only two species are included in this first part — Bianccca 

 scandens, Tod., of which Ccesalpmia sepiaria, Roxb., is quoted as a 

 doubtful synonym ; and Erythrina insignis, Tod., a handsome species 

 long cultivated in the garden, but its original locality unknown. The 

 plates are handsomely printed in colours, but are unnecessarily large. 



The volume of Pringsheim's " Jahrbiicher fur Wissenschaftlichen 

 Botanik" for 1875 consists of memoirs by J. Reinke on the anatomy 

 of secreting organs of leaves, with special reference to the " glands" 

 so frequently found in connection with the teeth and petioles (with 2 

 plates) ; by Max Reess, on the reproductive process in the Basidio- 

 mycetes ; by R. Hesse, on the germination of the spores of Cyathus 

 striatiis, Willd. (with 1 plate) ; and by A. B. Frank, on the develop- 

 ment of certain flowers, with reference especially to the theory of in- 

 terposition (with 3 plates).-
