Abstract
THE Journal of Botany commenced its enlarged issue with the present year, and the two numbers already published indicate that its editor will have no difficulty in filling its pages with matter of value to the English botanist. An interesting paper, by Mr. E. A. L. Batters, describes several new British seaweeds, including two new genera, Colaconema and Trailliella, both belonging to the Florideæ. Mr. J. H. Burkill contributes a paper on the variation in the number of parts of the flower of Parnassia palustris. Mr. A. H. Praeger proposes a division of Ireland into botanical districts, accompanying his paper by a map. There are a number of other papers on various departments of descriptive botany. The plates illustrate two new forms of British pond-weed described by Mr. A. Fryer, and new African plants described by Mr. A. B. Rendle and Mr. E. G. Baker.
