International Seed Exchange 
In order to simplify the work in connection with the increasing 
number of requests, seeds from woody plants only were collected 
the past year. During the coming year we plan to collect seeds 
from herbaceous plants only. 
Correspondence with other gardens regarding the possible 
formation of an International List of Genera of Plants Cultivated 
in Botanic Gardens was continued. Communication No. 5 
(April 1925) contained replies from sixteen botanic gardens to 
our appeal for international agreement as to genera and listed 
about a hundred frequently used generic names, as to which 
there is a difference between the most widely used general 
authorities. In Communication No. 6 (November 1926) the 
replies received from eleven botanic gardens were published. 
On the basis of the information now at hand it is intended to 
publish a second preliminary list of genera, arranged by families 
as desired by a majority of gardens, indicating the more or less 
generally accepted names. 
Phanerogamic Herbarium 
Among the collections acquired last year were 206 specimens 
of Roumanian plants from the Botanic Garden of Clu; 162 
specimens from South China from Canton Christian College, 
50 specimens from Brazil from Miss B. Lutz, 70 specimens from 
Palestine from Dr. and Mrs. Glentworth R. Butler, 145 speci- 
mens of Long Island plants from Mr. W. C. Ferguson, and 85 
specimens of Carex from New York State Museum. 
About 1,000 specimens were mounted and distributed by Miss 
Margaret Ellis, curatorial assistant. The present cases are now 
almost entirely full.
