We are informed that Part II., which will appear on the 1st 
of November, will include, besides other interesting plants, the 
truly beautiful Begonia argyrostigma, and a new Osbeckia from 
Nepal, the drawings of which the author made at the Botanic 
Garden of this city, during his late visit to Edinburgh, and which 
were then flowering for the first time in Britain. 
Copies of this work are published, both plain and coloured ; 
the former 8s. the later 15s. each Part. The plates are beauti-

as we may say of the entire publication, does honour to the 
state of the arts and of botanical science, in the kingdom of Scot- 
land.

native cryptogamic plants which have been discovered since the 
publication of the great work above alluded to, the English Bo- 
tany” of Smith and Sowerby ; this last national work only wants 
the fungi to render it the most complete Flora ever published with 
plates, of any country. Mr Greville’s continuation (published 
on the same size) must therefore be regarded as a very desirable
