GEOGRAPHICAL BOTANY. 331 



Sande Lacoste, and Dozy have been occupied in the 

 study of the cryptogamic plants of the Netherlands. The 

 former has made known localities of the Mosses ; the 

 latter, in conjunction with Molkenboer, has published a 

 catalogue of the Fungi indigenous to that country, and 

 some newly- discovered Mosses (both in v. d. Hoeven's 

 Tidjschrift, f. 1844, p. 165 and 377). 



The general works upon the Flora of Germany, men- 

 tioned in the previous Annual Reports, have been con- 

 tinued. Four decades of the seventh volume of Reichen- 

 bach's c Icones/ containing the Aroidese and the allied 

 groups, have appeared. A cheaper edition, containing 

 a more copious text, was commenced at the same time, 

 with the title of ' Deutschland's Flora/ Parts 23 and 

 24 of the third section of ' Sturm's Flora;' the fifth 

 volume of Schlechtendal and Schenk's illustrated work ; 

 and Parts 48-56 of that upon Thiiringia; Parts 34-49 

 of Link's Publication ; and Parts 2-4 of D. Dietrich's 

 ' Crypt ogamia.' 



Rabenhorst has published the first volume of a ' Cryp- 

 togamic Flora,' containing the Fungi (Deutschland's 

 Kryptogamen Flora. Bd. i. Leipzig, 1844-8). This 

 compilation is adapted to the present time, but does not 

 entirely come up to our expectations. Of the author's 

 valuable collection of dried Fungi, the seventh, and in 

 the following year the eighth, " Centurie" have appeared. 

 Hampe is preparing a similar herbarium of the ' Crypto- 

 gamia of the North of Germany/ which comprises at pre- 

 sent 230 Mosses, 80 Hepaticse, and 80 Lichens. (By the 

 author at Blankenberg, on the Hartz.) 



In Wallroth's ' Contributions to Botany/ two parts of 

 which are before us, individual genera of the flora of 

 Germany are treated monographically ; especially Agri- 

 monia, Armeria (with two well-marked Hartz mountain- 

 plants, Agrim. odorata D. C., Syn. A. procera Wallr., 

 and Armeria humilis Lk., Syn. A: fllicaulis Boiss. ! 

 A. Hatteri Wallr.), Lampsana, and Xanthium. Then 

 follow critical remarks ; as, e. g., upon Senecio paludosus.
