German Plants, from C. H. Schultz. — Mr. Watson has also 

 sent us a packet of German plants, which was sent by Herr 

 Schultz to the Botanical Society of London after its suspension. 



The January meeting of the Society was held on the evening 

 of Tuesday, the 10th instant. The Rev. W. T. Kingsley, of South

 Baker announced the receipt of parcels from Miss At wood, 

 Messrs. Barton, Bean, Flower, Hind, Hunt, Ingle, Knights, Lin- 

 nell. More, Norman, Purchas, Richardson, Varenne, and Wind-

 Du, in Carnarvonshire. Doubtless it is the same plant that has

" Fumaria parvijiora. Mr. W. Bean, Jun., sends this species
