are also found ; and with them few shrubs only and a 

 single species of Saxifrage. 



V. Martens, in a general work, has described the bota- 

 nical geography of Italy from literary sources (Italy, 

 Stuttgard, 1844, 8vo, 3 vols.) 



Works upon the Flora of Italy. The first two parts of 

 the sixth vol. of Bertolini's Flora Italica, which treat of 

 the 14th class, have appeared (Bologna, 8vo.) The Flora 

 of Nice, by A. Risso (Nice, 1844, 8vo), is of no scientific 

 value. We have not yet received Cesati's paper upon 

 that of Lombardy (Saggio sulla Geographica botanica e 

 sulla Flora della Lombardia. Milano, 1844, 8vo, p. 74). 

 Purcinelli Additamentum ad synopsin plantarum in agro 

 Luccensi sponte nascentium (in the Giornale Botanico 

 Italiano. 1844, pp. 118-123). Savi Florula Gorgonica 

 (id. pp. 243-283), a catalogue enumerating 290 sp. of 

 vascular plants observed in Gorgona, a small island oppo- 

 site Leghorn, and covered with Cisti, Ericas, and Legu- 

 minous shrubs, may be considered as a companion to the 

 Flora of Capraja, published some years ago by Moris 

 and Notaris. De Notaris, Appendix to his Specimen 

 Algologise Ligusticse (id. pp. 191, 311). Meneghini, 

 Algarum species nova3 vel minus nota3 (id. pp. 296-306), 

 33 species from the coasts of Italy and Dalmatia. The 

 fourth part of Alghe Italiane e Dalmatiche, by the same 

 author, has appeared (Padova, 1843, 8vo). Ten ore has 

 shown that the Dalmatian Arenaria Arduini is identical 

 with his former A. Rosani (Ren die. Acad. 1842, p. 266). 

 V. Heldreich describes four new Sicilian plants (Ratisbon 

 Flora, 1844, p. 65): 1 Heliantkemum, 1 Elichrysum, 1 Cen- 

 taurea, and 1 Lit/iospermum. Nyman's Observations in 

 Floram Siculam (Linna3a, 1844, pp. 625-665) contain a 

 catalogue of his collection which is for sale in Sweden, 

 with descriptive remarks. The only new plant is Parie- 

 taria populifolia, N. from Malta. 



Link distinguishes a new Erica ant hum, obtained from 

 Spalatro (Sitz. des Ges. naturf. Freunde, 1844, in the 

 Ratisbon Flora, 1845). Visiani raises Turinea Neu-
