lant Collection from the Azores.—An interesting and 
valuable collection of Azores plants has recently been presented to 
Kew by Capt. G. A. Carew Hunt. This consists of about 600 
specimens mostly collected in the island of St. Michael or San 
Miguel, Azores, by Capt. Carew Hunt’s grandfather, Thomas Carew 
Hunt, who was from 1844-48 H.B.M. Consul for the Azores. 
The specimens are in good condition, unmounted and laid between 
sheets of brown paper. The present set was stored, apparently 
for many years, in the warehouse of Messrs. Joseph Barber & Co., 
Ltd., and it is largely due to the interest and good offices of this 
firm’s Director, Mr. H. G. Pole, that the presentation was 
ultimately made to Kew. The package was addressed to the 
Botanical Society of London which became defunct in 1858 (see 
Druce in Rep. Bot. Soc. & Exch. Club, 1920, pp. 93-95). 
Carew Hunt’s Azores plants were worked out by H.C. Watson, 
who included them in papers published in Hooker’s London 
Journal of Botany, vol. ITI., 1844, p. 582, and vol. VI., 1847, 
p. 380, and in Godaman, “ The Azores,’ 1870. Mr. Carew Hunt 
himself published accounts of the islands of St. Mary and St. 
Michael in the Journ. of the Roy. Geogr. Soc. XV., 1845, p. 258, 
and included lists of plants. 
Among the new plants collected by Carew Hunt and . 
described by Watson there may be mentioned : Vicia Dennesiana, 
Petroselinum Seubertianum, Ammi Huntii, Seubertia azorica, and 
Campanula Vidaliti. Ammi Hunt is figr red in es 
“ Botanical Observations on the Azores,” in Ann. Rep. Missouri 
Bot. Gard, 1897, Plate 23. 
According to Watson (in Godaman, “Fhe Azores,” p. 262) 
Carew Hunt collected 375 species in the Azores, adding 67 species 
previously unrecorded from the islands, out of a then known 
total of 478 species of Phanerogams and Vascular Cryptogams.
