Abstract
IN the Journal of Botany for January, there is no paper of special general interest, the illustration being that of a new British moss Tortula indinata. Mr. J. G. Baker describes a number of new or little known capsular gatnophyllous Liliaceæ; and Mr. F. E. Kitchener gives an “elementary proof of the rule for detecting spiral arrangement.” The first article in the February No. is an illustration of how much yet remains to be done in completing the British flora, being a description with a plate of a British Dock, Rumex maximus, discovered by the Hon. J. L. Warren in the neighbourhood of Lewes, where it was recorded many years since, but not having been observed in the meantime, had been generally treated as an error. There is no other paper bearing specially on British Botany, but a very useful account of the Esparto-grass of commerce, by Mr. J. R. Jackson.
