Several (ten) of the contributions to the flora of France, published at 

 different times from 1837 to 1874, by the late C. Grenier, have been

M. C. De Candolle has published an interesting paper in the 

 Geneva "Archives des Sciences" for April on the structure and 

 movements of the leaves of Bioncea Mxiscipula ; with two plates. The 

 spreading hairs are epidermal structures, but the excitant hairs are 

 connected with the subepidermal tissue, and the author considers that 

 the movements of the leaf-valves are due to variations in the tur- 

 gescence of this parenchyma, to which stimuli are conveyed by th(^ 

 excitant hairs. He also shows that the absorption of material of 

 animal origin is not utilised directly by the leaves, and is not neces- 

 sary to the development of the plant. 



AVe are indebted to the "Recorder" of the Botanical Locality 

 Record Club (Mr. F. A. Lees) for a copy of the report for 1875, dated 

 April 10. This extends to sixty-two pages, and, as in previous years, 

 consists mainly of county records additional to those given in Watson's 

 " Topographical Botany," without taking into account whether pub- 

 lished already elsewhere or not. The special localities of some of the 

 more interesting species are given in a separate list. Trifolium mari- 

 timum is recorded from the Isle of Wight, between Yarmouth and
