WATSON 

 BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB. 



REPORT FOR 1898-99. 



A LAKGER NUMBER OF SPECIMENS than of late 



years was sent in, totalling 1396. Twenty members 

 contributed, and the material, in most cases, was well 

 chosen. 



It is to be regretted that not a single specimen of 

 Hieracluiii and but one species of Rosii was sent ; there 

 was also an absence of such critical plants as Bati-achian 

 Ranunculi. 



Critical genera should be better represented, if possible. 



A number of interesting aliens were sent in ; the 

 value of these would be greatly increased if members 

 would give full particulars of the conditions under which 

 the plants were growing, the probable source of origin, 

 degree of naturalization, &c. 



With a view of keeping the Club Desiderata List 

 more in touch with the contributing members, it is asked 

 that each member will send in with the plants for the 

 next distribution a list of his desiderata not at present 

 on the Cluh List. 



Mr. Arthur Bennett, Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, Rev. 

 E. F. Linton, Rev. W. R. Linton, Mr. S. T. Dunn, and 

 others, have done much to help in naming the specimens 

 contributed and making notes upon them.
