Abstract
THE most important paper in the Journal of Botany for April is the commencement of a Synopsis of the Rhizocarpeæ by Mr. J. G. Baker, another of the series of this writer's exhaustive monographs of the families of Vascular Cryptogams outside the Ferns. The present instalment includes the genus Salvinia, in which three new species are described, and a portion of Azolla. In the May number we find a continuation of Mr. W. B. Grove's paper on new and noteworthy fungi, in which several new species are described, and one new genus of Sphæroideæ, Collonema. Mr. W. H. Beeby gives further particulars respecting the distribution of his newly discovered Sparganium neglectum, and Mr. Arthur Bennett an account of the distribution in Britain of the various species of Potamogeton, in addition to those contained in the second edition of “Topographical Botany.”
