We regret we cannot say a single word in favour of this book. If the 

 author had been well advised, it would never have seen the light.

Catalogue Plantarum Ccssarei Regii Horti prope Modiciam ad Annum 1842. 

 Catalogue of the Plants in the Royal Botanic Garden of Monza near Milan 

 in the Year 1842. 8vo, pp. 207. Milan, 1843. 



M. Manetti, the director of the Monza Garden, and the author of the Cata- 

 logue, informs us in his preface that it has been compiled in obedience to the 

 commands of His Serene Highness Prince Rainer, a nobleman of great 

 botanical acquirements, in consequence of the vast influx of plants since 1826, 

 when the previous list was made out. The nomenclature is, for the most 

 part, that of DeCandoUe and Sprengel. Want of leisure prevented him from 

 making the Catalogue as comprehensive as he could wish, but he hopes at 

 some future time to arrange the whole on the plan of our EncyclopcEdia of 

 Plants, and thus render it " a source of pleasure and instruction both to the 

 botanist and the gardener." 



The Catalogue is in alphabetical order j and after each specific name, the 

 authority, the habit of the plant, whether a tree, whether ligneous or herba- 

 ceous, perennial, biennial, with male or female flowers, &c., and its native 

 country. The garden seems very rich in species. On turning to the genus 

 Cratae^gus we find 29 species and 17 varieties. Three of the species, C. coroniita 

 Wendl. fit., C. pruinosa Wendl.fil., and C. sphae'rica Wendl. fil., we are unac- 

 quainted with under these names. 



The Catalogue has been got up with very great care, and is highly creditable 

 to its author. It will be found useful to collectors in this country, as it 

 contains a number of species little known in England.

 Hall, near Skepton, Yorkshire. 12mo. London, 1843.
