In the collection of Labiatae brought home from Asia-Media

L., var. mollis Briq.; *S. Paulsenii Briq.; S. adenostegia Briq.; *Nepeta 
Paulsenii Briq.; *N. reniformis Briq.; N. fallax Briq.; *Dracocephalum

Briq., var. pamirensis Briq.; *Paulsenieila pamirensis Briq., nov.

This |is a list of the Cyperaceae known from Jamaica, some 
are described from single specimens of old collectors, and are 
doubtful as to their origin. 
The generic limits are those outlined by C. B. Clarke in his 
“monograph of the West Indian Cyperaceae (Urb. Symb. Antill. 
II, 8.) except in the case of Cyperus and Stenophyllus. 
A key to the fifteen genera is given. The specific descriptions 
are confined to the keys preceeding each genus; under the specific 
names are quoted only the Synonyms, distribution, and the speci¬ 
mens of the more recent collectors. Several new specific combina- 
tions occur. T. F. Chipp.

In dieser Arbeit beschreibt der Verf. 16 neue Hievacium- Arten 
aus dem nördlichsten Schweden, hauptsächlich aus der Forne 
Lappmark, einige auch aus der Lule Lappmark stammend. Für 
mehrere Arten werden auch Fundorte aus den angrenzenden Ge¬ 
bieten in Norwegen und Finnland, wie auch in den russischen 
Lappmarken beigefügt. Die meisten (12) Arten gehören der Gruppe 
Alpina Fr., 4 der Gruppe Vulgata Fr. an. Rob. E. Fries.

A historical and geographic account is followed by full keys to 
tribes, genera and species, joined to a detailed systematic treatment 
of the representatives of this familjq in its broadest sense, to the 
south of the Tehachapi Pass. The author’s attitude is conservative 
as to the Segregation of forms, and the Vienna rules are made the 
basis of nomenclature. Of the 445 recognized forms (of which 37 are 
introduced), 113 are Astereae, 86 Helenieae, 68 Cichorieae, 34 Heli-
