Abstract
THIS international plant science news magazine, formerly published in Holland, continues to appear now from Waltham, Mass., U.S.A. Vol. 6, Nos. 17-18 appeared in Kovember 1941 and is an exceedingly interesting number. Under the heading “Nomina ad Infinitum” Dr. F. C. Bawden asks for a more vigorous effort to rationalize procedure in the naming of virus diseases of plants, and then in the “Plant Science Forum” a number of subjects of general botanical interest are raised by well-qualified contributors. Very general interest will be aroused by a brief note from Dr. W. C. Darrah on the fossil embryos in Iowa coal balls ; in particular, in the record of the discovery of the embryo and young seedling of a Lepidocarpon. There then follows a series of brief “Progress Reports”on plant science in Latin America, for example, on forestry in Mexico (Meyer), natural resources of Costa Rica (Skutch), etc.
