22 MISC. PUBLICATION 797, U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
the Flora batava by Kops and others (1800-1934). Individual 
maps showing the range of about 772 species are available. 
There is a geographically arranged list of publications on the local 
flora up to 1940, as well as a bibliography of phytosociology. 
There is an extensive list of vernacular names by Heukels (1907) 
and another by Gerth van Wijk, and an extremely detailed study 
of the patois names of 8 common species in south Netherlands 
and adjacent Belgium by Pauwels and Grootaers; also, among 
the provincial and local floras, a list of standardized Frisian 
vernacular names and a partial list of South Limburg patois 
names. The wild and cultivated useful plants are described by 
van Hall, Heukels (Landbouwflora), van der Trappen, and 
Willinge Prins, and the poisonous plants by Miquel; there are 
about 8 publications on one aspect or another of weeds, and they 
are discussed in other works on useful and cultivated plants. 
Cultivated plants in general are described by Bisschop van Tuinen, 
van Hall, and Heukels, herbaceous plants by Boom and Ruys and 
by Sipkes, and trees by Boom. There are works on ecology, 
phytogeography, botanical districts, and plant associations; on 
botanical history (to 1873), on botanical institutions and herbaria, 
and a list of Dutch biologists with dates and references to 
biographical notices; and three glossaries (Dutch-English or 
Latin-Dutch) of scientific terms. There is a seed-atlas with illus- 
trations of the seeds of nearly all the native as well as many 
cultivated or naturalized species. 
Of the 11 provinces (plus Noordzee-eilanden, here separated for 
convenience) only 5 possess provincial floras, all of which are old 
(Friesland, 1840; Groningen, 1860; Limburg, 1887; Noordzee- 
eilanden, 1898; Zeeland, 1878), but this is of no great importance 
in view of the general physiographic uniformity of the country 
and the abundant information on distribution available in other 
works. From 1 (Groningen) to 17 (Noord-Holland) local 
floras are cited for the different provinces; with only 2 excep- 
tions, each province has 4 or more. Of 161 primary titles cited, 
52 are general, 10 provincial, and 98 local; of the local floras, 
some 46 are lists based on excursions of the Nederlandsche 
Botanische Vereeniging; and there are 80 subsidiary titles, 
making a total of 241. 
NoRWAY.—The kingdom of Norway, with an area of about 
323,916 square kilometers (125,182 square miles, including water 
areas) has a flora, including naturalized plants, of 2,341 species 
(Lid, 1952) of which 477 are species and microspecies of 
Hieracium and Taraxacum. It has two modern floras, one of 
which (by Lid) gives more detailed ranges while the other (by 
Nordhagen) includes the principal cultivated plants, and there 
are a number of older or popular floras, including two with 
abundant colored plates (see Bolin and Lindman, under Scan- 
dinavia). Illustrations of practically all the species except, 
presumably, many of the microspecies are available, and a sys- 
tematic iconography (Nordhagen) is in process of publication. 
The bibliographical data restricted to Norway alone cover only 
the years 1859-1905, but those up to 1814 and for 1901-14 are
