Abstract
IN 1935-36 three numbers appeared of a new journal with this title, under the editorship of Dr. H. R. Oppenheimer ; the journal is published at irregular intervals ; each volume contains 10-15 sheets, of 16 pages each, and is sold abroad at the rate of one shilling per sheet. Papers published deal mainly with the plants and plant problems of Palestine or with experimental work in plant physiology or horticulture. From its descriptive nature, botanical work in a new country needs a local publication medium to record observations which are, in the main, of interest to the inhabitants of the new country, though they also attract the attention-of systematists especially-of all countries. It is to be hoped that this new venture, which includes brief Hebrew summaries of the main items in the last number of the volume, may find enough supporters in Palestine and amongst those interested in systematic botany and horticulture to enable it to continue. It is announced that Dr. Israel Reichert, mycologist and plant pathologist, joins the editorial board from the publication of the second volume; this suggests that plant pathology will be more strongly represented in future numbers. The third number contains an editorial appreciation and photograph of G. Mosheyoff, assistant in plant physiology at the Hebrew University, who died at the age of twentythree years as the result of wounds received during the recent disturbances at the defence of the colony Koryath Anavim. The agent for the journal in Europe is W. Junk, The Hague.
