ALSACE-LORRAINE (ELSASS-LOTHRINGEN) 
See also Alsace and Lorraine, as well as the separate departments concerned. 
Alsace-Lorraine, consisting only of the present Departments of Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, and 
Moselle, with a small part of Vosges, was a Reichsland of Germany from 1871 to 1919. Dur- 
ing this period several floras and other works were published which are brought together here 
since they cannot well be placed under Alsace or Lorraine. 
Bossler, Ludwig. Flora der gefdsspfianzen in Elsass-Lothringen . 
385 p. 16.5 cm. Strassburg i. E., 1877. (Gray Herbarium library.) 
Synopsis of genera, on Linnaean system; annotated flora, with brief des- 
criptions, and localities for scarcer species. The work was entirely a com- 
pilation and condemned by French and German reviewers alike (see 
Barbiche, Bul. Soc. Hist. Nat. Metz II, 15: 234. 1880; Flora 61: 191. 1878), 
mainly for this reason.
