FLORAS OF THE WORLD—PART II 27 
poisonous plants, an old work on edible plants, and a work on 
useful alpine plants. There are four publications on weeds and 
adventive plants, none of them complete. There is no treatment 
of cultivated plants as such, although the cultivated woody plants 
are partly covered in one popular work. The general phy- 
togeography has been described by Christ in a classical work, 
that of alpine plants by Jerosch, and Furrer has given an account 
of plant formations, ecology, history of vegetation, agriculture, 
and kindred subjects. There is an old work on the plants of the 
ancient lake dwellings, and a monograph on plant remains from 
’ the Paleolithic on. Bruhin gave a sketch of botanical history from 
Gesner to de Candolle, and a list of identifications of the plants 
described by Gesner and his contemporaries. Two important 
works relating to all Central Europe have been listed under 
Switzerland, which they cover: Hegi’s Ilustrierte Flora von 
Mittel-Europa, an unmatched collection of information on many 
subjects besides description and identification, and Kirchner’s 
_Lebensgeschichte der Bliitenpflanzen Mitteleuropas, dealing with 
biology and ecology; and other important Germanic publications 
that refer also to Switzerland are mentioned by name on p. 28. 
Of the 22 cantons here recognized (25 if the halb-cantons were 
treated separately), 14 are the subject of separate floras, 7 are 
covered by 3 joint floras, and only 1 (Bern) lacks a flora, but for 
it there is available a modern flora covering the greater part of 
the canton. Of the 21 effective canton floras, 4 date from 1839 
to 1866, 9 from 1881 to 1896, and 8 from 1910 to 1949. Four of 
the cantons (Appenzell, Fribourg, Uri, and Zug) have no local 
floras or other local publications cited, and for 4 others only 1 
each is listed; 12 of the other cantons have from 4 to 138 each, 
Valais has 24, and Graubiinden 27. Of 234 primary titles listed, 
56 are general (a few of these partial), 42 cantonal, and 136 local; 
and there are 191 subsidiary titles, making a total of 425. 
In the first part of this work a list of 100 selected floras and 
floristic works was presented, considered to include the items of 
greatest general utility. A similar list is given here for the coun- 
tries included in the present part, but the number has been re- 
duced to 67, including only the major publications, because of the 
impossibility of choosing among the very numerous county and 
provincial floras. For Andorra: Losa Espafia and Montserrat,
