REPORT FOR 1907. 
261 
‘ The Flora of Glamorganshire,’ by our member the Rev. H. J. 
Riddelsdell, M.A., has appeared as a ‘ Supplement ’ to the ‘ Journal 
of Botany’ during the year, and is issued as a separate work at 
2 S. 6d. pp. 88. It forms a concise and excellent account of 
enormous personal work. His interesting discovery of a new 
variety of the rare Lipai-is Loeselii has already been mentioned in 
these pages. 
Another work on the Flora of the same County is being pre- 
pared by our member, Prof. A. H. Trow, D.Sc., F.L.S. 
‘The Flora of Sussex,’ by the late Rev. F. H. Arnold, LL.D. 
pp. 154, 4.y. 6d., Mitchell and Co., Arundel, adds but little to the 
matter given in the preceding edition, and a complete Flora of the 
County on more modern lines is still a desideratum. 
‘ The Flora of West Lancashire.’ J. A. Wheldon, F.L.S. , and 
Albert Wilson, F.L.S. pp. 51 1. 1907, 12^. 6d. Our members 
must be heartily congratulated upon producing this handsome 
volume, which shows the distribution of 797 native species of 
Phanerogams and Higher Cryptogams, 44 Colonists, and 31 
Denizens, through that interesting vice-county. In addition there 
are about 100 Aliens mentioned. Five additional native species 
are given at the end. The Mosses, 332, and Hepaticae, 100, and 
309 Lichens are also included, and the work is illustrated by 15 
beautiful reproductions of photographs, taken by Mr. Wilson, of 
plants in situ, &c. An excellent introduction treating of the species 
enumerated from an oecological standpoint is given. 
‘ The Trees of Great Britain and Ireland,’ H. J. Elwes, F.R.S., 
and A. Henry, M.A. Vol. ii., 1907. Privately printed, 3^. 
In this volume Quercus Robur and Q. sessilis (under the name Q. 
scssiliflora^ Salisb.) are described, and it is satisfactory to find these 
two distinct species kept apart. The Horse-chestnut is said to have 
been first grown at Vienna in 1576 from seeds sent from Con- 
stantinople. Larix decidua, Mill, (under the name Z. europaen DC.) 
and Pimis Laricio, Poir, which now is self-sown at Holkham, 
Norfolk, are also among the species described, and beautifully 
illustrated. 
‘ Wild Flowers of the British Isles,’ H. Isabel Adams. Revised 
by our member J. Bagnall, A.L.S. Ranunculaceae to Compositae,
