GEOGRAPHICAL BOTANY. 373 



In the descriptive part of Jacquemont's work, which, 

 arranged in accordance with De Candolle's system, is 

 worked out by Cambessedes as far as the conclusion of 

 the Rosacese, and the remainder by Decaisne, in addition 

 to a large number of new species, the following genera, 

 mostly from the Himalayas are proposed: Christolea and 

 Donepea (Crucifera?), Oliyomeris (Resedaceae), Periandra 

 (vid, sup.), Anquetilla (Xanthoxylaceae) Leptopus (near 

 Phyttanthus)> Allardia (v. s.), Melanoseris (Cichoracese), 

 Belenia (Solanege), Dargeria (Scrophulariaceae), Lasiosi- 

 phon (GnidicB sp. plures) Girardinia (Urtica sp.), and 

 J)iplosiphon (a remarkable Epigynous and Monocotyledo- 

 nous water-plant, the natural affinity of which is not 

 determined). 



The continuation of Bentham's work upon the Indian 

 and African Leguminosoe, which was noticed in last year's 

 Report, includes about a hundred Genistas, most of them 

 from the Cape (London Journal of Bot. iii, p. 338-65). 



The new parts of Kortlial's Monographs on the Flora 

 of the Indian Archipelago (Annual Report for 1841), con- 

 tain the Melastomacese, Oaks, and the following genera : 

 Cratoxylon and Tridesmis, Hippocratea and Salacia, and 

 Maranthes ; Boschia, nov. gen. (Sterculiaceae),, Ompho- 

 carpus, n. g. (near Grewia), Paravinia, n. g., and Clei- 

 socratera, n. g. (Rubiaceae). De Vriese has described a 

 Casuarina (C. Sumatrana J.) found by Junghuhn in 

 Sumatra in v. d. Hoeven's Tijdschrift (1844, p. 113), also 

 some Javanese plants (id. p. 336-47) ; the only new plant 

 is an jffischynanthm. New contributions by Hasskarl on 

 various families of the Javanese flora are published partly 

 in the same Journal (p. 49, iii ; pp. 178-228), and partly 

 in the Ratisbon Flora (1844, pp. 583 et seq.) Montagne 

 has described some new Javanese Mosses (London Journal 

 of Botany, 1844, pp. 632-4). Dozy and Molkenboer have 

 commenced an illustrated work on the Mosses of the Indian 

 Archipelago (Musci frondosi inediti Archipelagi Indici, 

 Ease. I. Lugdun. Batav. 1 844). The preliminary diagnostic 

 characters of about 75 new species have been published by
