THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
BRITISH AND FOREIGN 
EDITED BY 
JAMES BRITTEN, K.S.G., F.L.S. 
npIIE JOURNAL OF BOTANY was established in 1863 by Dr. Seemann. 
I In 1872 the editorship was assumed by Dr. Henry Trimen, assisted by 
Mr. J. G. Baker and Mr. Spencer Moore, until the end of 1879. Since 
then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 
It affords a ready and prompt medium for the publication of new discoveries. 
While more especially concerned with systematic botany, observations of every 
kind are welcomed. Especial prominence has from the first been given to 
British botany. 
Every number contains reviews of new and important books written by com- 
petent critics.
