THE 



JOURNAL 



OF 



BOTANY 



BRITISH AND FOREIGN 



KDITED BY 



JAMES BRITTEN, K.S.G., F.L.S 



The Journal of Botany was established in 1863 by Dr. Seemann. 

 In 1872 the editorship was assumed by Dr, Henry Trirnen, who. 

 assisted during part of the time by Mr. J. G. Baker and Mr. Spencer 

 Moore, carried it on until the end of 1879, when he left England for 

 Ceylon. Since then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 



Without professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 

 Journal has from its inception filled a position which, even now, i 

 covered by no other periodical. It affords a ready and prompt medium 

 for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and 



punctually on the 1st of each month. 



While more especially concerned 



kind are welcomed.

 Especial prominence has from the first been given to British botany 

 and it may safely be said that nothing of primary importance beariir 

 upon this subject has remained unnoticed. 



Bibliographical matters have also received and continue to receive 

 considerable atteikion, and the history of many obscure publications 

 has been elucidated. Every number contains reviews of new and 

 important books written by competent critics : in this as in every other 

 respect a strictly independent attitude has been maintained. While m 

 no way officially connected with the Department of Botany of the 

 .British Museum, the Journal has from the first been controlled by 

 those whose acquaintance with the National Herbarium has enabled 

 them to utilize its pages for recording facts of interest and importance 

 regarding the priceless botanical collections which the Museum contains. 

 In 1896 it became necessary to increase the size of the Journal, owing 

 to the number of papers sent for publication : the number of plates 

 was at the same time augmented. 



Subscriptions (16s. post free) and advertisements (not later than the 24th of 

 each month) should be sent to West, Newman & Co., 54, Hatton Garden, London; 

 communications for publication and books for review to
