and tomentosum x nodosum are included. The name P. mite Schrank 

 is retained and hybrids with the preceding species as well as with 

 minus and Hydropiper given. P. aviculare (p. 847) is divided 

 into two sub-species heterophyllum and aequale Lindman, and 

 12 pages are occupied in describing the varieties and forms 

 of aviculare. P. calcatum is a full species, it was described 

 by Lindman in Bot. Notiser 139, 1904. P. Rayi Bab. is 

 given with P. Roberti as a synomym. The authority for Fagopyrum 

 should be Miller Gard. Diet. Abr. 1754, which is earlier than Gilibert : 

 despite the Actes the species stands as Fagopyrum Fagopyrum Karst. 



The Index for IV. Bandes occupies 64 pages. 



Lieferung 79-80 by Paul Graebner. May 23, 1913. Tiel 

 Hauptregistr, pp. 66-152. Band V". 4 marks. Chenopodiaceae, pp. 

 1-64. Beta vulgaris L. Sp. PI. 222, 1753, includes B. maritima L. 

 Sp. PL 322, 1762 — the var. erecta Gren. & Godr. should be found in 

 Britain. Our Mangold is B. vulgaris cicla L., the Beet being B. 

 vulgaris, many minor forms being described. Dr Murr's recent 

 minute study of the Chenopods (see Report 1912, pp. 173-6) is evidenced 

 in these pages. Many forms of Chenopodium hybridum are included as 

 well as of C. murale, the var. albescens a Sicilian form which I got at 

 Syracuse is very distinct. The name chosen for the variety of C. 

 urbicum is rhombifolium Moquin dating from 1840, but intermedium 

 Koch (as in the List) is 3 years earlier. This shows that the author 

 ignores (and surely wisely) the Actes Art. No. 48, since C. rhombifolium 

 Miihl. dates from 1809, whereas C. intermedium Mert. & Koch only 

 from 1826. That is, the earliest trivial is rhombifolium, and it 

 was apparently first made a variety by Koch as intermedium in his 

 Synopsis of 1837. G. leptophyllum although of American origin is 

 given full space and numbering. England might be given for it as 

 well as Scotland. C. album and its forms occupies from p. 38-62 ; 

 var. (2) glomerulosum Peterm. has under it lanceolatiforme (3), catenu- 

 latum (4). Myriostachyum Lange 1897 has under it candicans Moq. and 

 precatorium A. & G. = viridescens Moq. ? as well as numerous forms. 



The praeacutum Beck, or its forms are not given for Britain. 

 Under subficifolium which is given as British, are several forms. 

 There are also G. album var. lanceolatum Coss. and Germ., and C. album 

 var. viride Wahl. C. album var. rhombeum Peterm. PL Lips. 1838, 

 includes sub sp. paucidens Murr. Britain is not given for it, but it 

 occurs here. C. concatenatum Thuill. should be found in Britain. C.
