On the Plants of Kohima and Mimeypore. — Charles Baron Clarke. 



(Journ, Linn. Soc. Vol. xxv.; 44 plates; also reprinted, pp, 

 107). 



Mr. Clarke publishes a list of plants, with critical notes and 

 descriptions, and illustrates many new species collected by himself 

 on a march from Gologhat, in Central Assam, to Cachar, in Oc- 

 tober and November, 1885. 1,050 species are enumerated. An 

 account is given of former botanical exploration in the same 

 region and contiguous territory. 



Neite Bcitrilge zur Moosjlora von Neu- Guinea. — Von Adelbert 

 Geheeb. (Bibliothcca Botanica, Heft 13, 1889 mit 8 Tafeln). 



This contribution to the flora of New Guinea cotains some very 

 fine illustrations of the new species, from drawings by '^Adelbert 

 and Emmy Geheeb-Belart/' but the descriptions of new species 

 are mostly from the pen of Dr. C, Milller. Of the seventeen 

 enumerated here twelve bear his names. The plates are on the 



and quite as good.

Abies lasiocarpa and its Allies. Maxwell T. Masters. (Journ. 

 Bot xxvii. 129-138; 9 figures). 



Dr. Masters concludes that the Abies suhalpina, Engelm. 

 (Amer. Nat. x. 554. 1876), the name also adopted by Professor 

 Sargent in the loth Census Forestry Report, is probably made 

 up of two older species, viz.: A. lasiocarpa (Hook.), Nutt., and 

 A. bifolia, Murray, Proc. Hort. Soc. London, iii. 318 (1863). 

 He gives an interesting account of the history of these trees, 



together with descriptions based on specimens at Kew, noting 

 also that if all the forms (including v^x.fallax, Engelm.), are re 

 Jucible to one species, this must be called A. lasiocarpa, its 

 earliest publication being as Pimis lasiocarpa, Hook. Fl. Bor.- 

 Am ii. 163 (1840).
