Abstract
THE Journal of Botany for December 1874 and January and February 1875 contain quite the average of papers of general interest. Among the original papers may be mentioned in particular one on the critical species Triticum pungens, and another on Rumex maximus, by the Hon. J. Leicester Warren; descriptions of new species of Scilleas and other Liliaceæ, by Mr. J. G. Baker; a list of the wild flora of Kew Gardens and pleasure-grounds, by G. Nicholson; Anthoxanthum puelii, by F. Townsend; and the continuation of the paper on the Botany of the Maltese Islands, by Mr. J. F. Duthie. A larger proportion of the space than usual is filled by reviews of botanical works, English and foreign. The plates include two of new species of Ascobolus, to illustrate a paper by Mr. James Renny; Anthoxanthum puelii, recently discovered in the south of England; and Carex frigida and Salix Sadleri, the two. recent additions to the Scottish flora made by Mr. Sadler.
