Fumaria and Rupicapnos. — Pugsley 20 has published a very detailed 

 revision of Fumaria and also of Rupicapnos whose species were formerly 

 included in Fumaria. In Fumaria 46 species are recognized, 6 of which are 

 new; in Rupicapnos 20 species are recognized, 7 of which are new. — J. M. C. 



New genus of Rubiaceae. — Rehder 21 has described a new genus (Tetra- 



I 



plasia) of Rubiaceae from the Liukiu Islands, an evergreen shrub endemic to 

 the islands. It is thought to belong to the Vanguerieae, and is most closely 

 related to Plectronia and Vangueria. — J. M. C. 



New conifers. — Wilson 22 has discussed four new Korean conifers, one, a 

 Thuja, having been described in 19 19 by Nakai. The others described by 

 Wilson are a new species and a new form of Abies, and a new form of Larix.
