THE STUDENTS’ FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND 148 
and H. Androsemum are entered as naturalized in many localities ; 
13 species of Trifolium, 5 species of Maiva, and 6 of Vicia, all intro 
ductions, represent these genera; in Cr aicifene there are 14 introdhosd 
as against 7 native genera, which include 30 introduced as against 
22 prio species. A considerable number of novelties are described 
them a genus, Huttonella, separated from Carmichaelia on 
sasscttn? of its indehiscent see and including four species formerly 
placed in the last-named 
The book 1 is well and caf printed. Here and there— 
the public, who will hardly expect that a work claiming to be a 
“Flora of New Zealand” includes only the Polypetale and part of 
the Monopetale. Nor is there any date on the title-page; the 
preface is dated 10th April, 1899, but the book was not received in 
London until the beginning of October. 
What Kirk did for New Zealand, Mr. F F. M. Bailey is ping. < 
our knowledge of Quantic botany difiea the last t hice years 
has extend, almost as rapidly as that of New Zealand. Thus, for 
example, the genus Nymphaea, represented in Bentham’s work by 
one species, here numbers five. About one of them, N. Br ownit, 
utes . flava, originally Es from Florida, has become 
ever, are by no means conspicuously in evidence, and in this the 
Queensland Flora contrasts strikingly with that previously a 
Mr. Bailey ae no doubt wisely from the -_ oint of view of ¢ 
venience, followed Bentham in arrangement and nom monelabane. 
and, perhaps with less reason, has ce iced in full the descriptions 
from the ess ‘‘with any needful further descriptive notes which 
may have e to our knowledge since.’ entham of course 
worked seal’ from herbarium specimens, es we think it would 
have been well if Mr. Bailey had availed himself of his opportunities 
to write descriptions from living plants. He has dded useful in- 
formation as to the economic properties of the trees, and the native 
names, which do not appear to be numerous. By the way, some 
“alt and  Melisope iobreeshibed (native canny of Mount 
Bartle Frere).” The excellent index deserves a word of com- 
mendation ; the plates are useful, but their execution leaves some- 
thing to be desired.
