Abstract
THE Anzeiger of the Vienna Academy of Sciences for 1924, which has recently been issued, contains, among other interesting matter, parts 25-30 of Dr. H. Handel-Mazzetti's “Plantae Novae Sinenses.” They add another century of new species and varieties of Chinese plants to those included in the earlier numbers. There is no definite plan in the selection of the plants described as new. The descriptions are rather in the nature of gleanings obtained in the course of the author's elaboration of the extensive material which he collected during his five years' exploration work in China, and of preliminaries towards a full account of his expedition. This, we understand, is almost ready for the press, and as Dr. Handel-Mazzetti is not only a highly competent botanist and an experienced traveller-he has done good work in Kurdistan and Upper Mesopotamia- but also a naturalist with a very comprehensive and thorough training, we are eagerly looking forward to its publication.
