THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB 
OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1892. 
The number of plants sent in for the year is rather less than usual, 
still the list includes some interesting plants, especially from Ireland. 
The jRudi, as usual, are bulky both in specimens and literary matter. 
I have given a heading for every wild plant sent in. It is greatly 
to be wished that at least ten specimens of each plant should be sent, 
and that the plants, as well as the labels, be attached to sheets of 
paper. The sorting out is always a troublesome and thankless task, 
which should not be increased by the loose labels and a deficient 
number of specimens in each cover sheet. 
Our thanks are due to the members of the Club who have 
generously contributed specimens and critical notes, e.£., Rev. E. F. 
Linton, Rev. W. R. Linton, Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, Rev. E. S. 
Marshall, etc., and to referees on special groups, notably Prof. E. 
Hackel (whose notes, notwithstanding the many claims on his time, 
are so punctually to hand). Dr. Focke, M. Crepin, Mr. J. G. Baker, 
Mr. Arthur Bennett, Mr. F. J. Hanbury, Mr. J. Groves, Dr. Buchanafi 
White, Dr. Lange, Herr PTeyn, Mr. PL Townsend, and the Messrs. 
Groves. 
In order to save space in our desiderata list I have ventured to 
supply a considerable number of members’ special wants from my 
own collection.
