THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF 
THE BRITISH ISLES. 
RETORT FOR THE YEAR 1896. 
This Report would, in the ordinary way, have been prepared by 
Mr. Arthur Bennett, F.L.S. , but that gentleman’s indisposition 
forbade his doing so. It therefore consists of the remarks made by 
the individual members upon the plants contributed ; of a few notes 
added by Mr. Arthur Bennett ; of the full detailed remarks by the 
Rev. W. Moyle Rogers upon the Rubi ; and of Mr. F. J. Hanbury’s 
determinations of the Hieracia. The Club is greatly indebted to the 
experts named for their valuable services. 
The plants received for distribution were contributed by the 
following members : —
