Of the tribe Monardece we possess a small portion of the vast genus 

 Salvia, which is increased to four hundred and seven species; Audi- 

 bertia of California, of six species ; Monarda of six species (M. di- 

 dyma and M. fislulosa being retained nearly as in the earlier mono- 

 graph) ; and Blephilia, of two species. 



! The tribe Nepetea affords us Lophanlkus ; a single Dracocephalum 

 and a Cedronella. 



The tribe Stachydece furnishes Prunella, for which Alph. De Can 

 dolle restores, with satisfactory reasons given, the orthography, Bru 

 nella ; Scutellaria, of eighty-six species, sixteen of them N. Ameri 

 can ; Physostegia, of which two species are admitted ; Brazoria 

 Engelm. — Gray (in which the synonyme u Physostegia truncata 

 Hook. Bot. Mag., t. 3494," should be cited under B. scutellarioides 

 as shown in Chlor. Bor.-Amer., and not under B. truncata) ; Mac 

 bridea and Synandra, each of a single species; and Stachys (from 

 which Betonica is now excluded) of one hundred and sixty-eight 

 species. 



The tribe Prasia belongs entirely to the old world and to the Sand- 

 wich Islands ; and the tribe Prostantherece is exclusively Australian. 



Of the AjugecB we have Isanthus ; Trichostemma (in which a cor- 

 rected view is taken of the inflorescence of the typical section) ; and 

 Teucrium. 



The small order, Selaginacece, contributed by Prof. Choisy of Geneva, 

 consists of eight almost exclusively South African genera, to which the 

 sub-arctic genus Gymnandra is doubtfully appended. Of three Siberian 

 species of this genus two are found on our northwest coast, two are 

 Himaiayan, and one has recently been found by Aucher-Eloy in the 

 mountains of Armenia. 



The order Stilbacea, prepared by Prof. Alph. De Candolle himself, 

 consists of three genera each of a single known species, and of one 



with five species ; all of them natives of the Cape of Good Hope 

 The Globular iacece, by the same author, comprises the typical genus, 



with eight species, and a new one of a single species ; all of European 



and of Eastern Asia, except one in the Canary Islands. 



The order Brunoniacece, also by De Candolle, contains a single 



genus of two Australian species ; both made known by the prince of 



botanists whose name they bear. 



Mr. Boissier, the most active and promising botanist of the Genevan 

 school, has elaborated the Plumbaginacea. The tribe Stalicea com- 

 prises six genera, viz., Mgialitis, R. Br., of the shores of eastern 

 tropical Asia and Australia; Acantholimon, Boiss., of forty-two Cen- 

 tral Asian species, and Goniolimon, Boiss., of seven North Asian spe- 

 cies,— both distinguished from the following by their capitate, instead 

 of filiform, stigmas; Statice itself, reaching to one hundred and ten 

 species; Armeria, with fifty-two species, and Limoniastrum, of 'two 

 Mediterranean species. The Statice of our own coast, S. Caroliniana, 

 Walt., Mr. Boissier distinguishes from S. Limonium by its fistulous 

 scape, stricter branches, pyramidal instead of corymbose panicle, the 

 distant one-flowered spikelets, and the very acute calyx-lobes ; the 

 Californian plant he introduces as a new species. The tribe Plum- 

 bagea consists of the Siberian Plumbagella ; the European and tropical
