BULLETIN OF MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION, No. 2. 1906, IV.—REVISION OF THE GENUS HEMILEIA, BERK, (With Plate.) in the genus, which up to the present have been very inadequately described in systematic works, the uredo-spore phase alone being oned, It is somewhat remarkable that no attempt appears to have been made by those engaged in studying the life-history of Hemileia vastastriz, Berk, and Broome, the cause of the much dreaded coffee-leaf disease in Ceylon and elsewhere, to ascertain whether vr not an Aecidium condition existed ; the presence of both uredo- and teleuto-spore stages strongly suggesting the probability of the presence of such. This probability receives further support from the fact that there exist four species of Aecidium as yet not correlated with uredo- or teleuto-spore stages, parasitic on the same or closely allied plants as those on which the various species of Hemileia are parasitic, and also occurring in the same countries as the latter. These species are as follows :— Aecidium Vangueriae, Cooke, on Vangueria infausta, Burch, and V, latifolia, Sond,, Natal. “ Often on the same plant, sometimes on the same leaves as Hemileia Woodii, K.& C.” (Cooke, Grevillea, x. p. 124.) Aecidium Pavettae, Berk. and Broome, and A. flavidum, Berk. and Broome, on Pavetta indica, L. ; Ceylon. Aecidium Plectroniae, Cooke, on Plectronia Cueinzii, J. M. Wood, Natal. ' Should heteroecism be proved to exist in the genus, the fact would be of value in any attempt to arrest the extension of para- sitic species. .

One to be a European Garden, which however, was not established till long after, at Cinchona, and the other was the ‘ Tropical Garden’ at Bath. : “A private garden possessing many rare and valuable plants had already been formed by Mr. Hinton East in Liguanea (Gordon Town) which, on the death of the founder, became the property of his nephew, Mr, E. H. East, ‘who with great generosity offered it to the Assemby of Jamaica for the use of the public at their own rice. “Mr, Bryan Edwards, in the History of the British West Indies, remarks that ‘the Assembly of Jamaica, co-operating with t “An interesting catalogue of the plants in thi a and time of Mr. East’s dec Pp in this Garden, a ‘ : mango, akee, cinnamon, cam- phor, jack tree, bichy or kola, date palm, rose apple, litchi, turmeric and man valuable plants, numbering nearly 600, had already been aa into the island and were becoming thoroughly acclima- ised, “From a letter addressed to Sir J Gardener, Jamaica, 1793 ‘ ; xceeded th ine expectations ; the cinnamon tree is come jer Solan ka weet aa in such plenty as to be planted in the negro grounds.

Inquiries were made everywhere for new feed tote: thanks and gratuities were viet for the introduction of valuable plants ; and these were desloge and distributed with great assiduity and care.

Dr. Stewart West acted for some time as Island Botanist and was engaged in collecting the plants that had been lost from the Gardens, for the purpose of propagating and distri- buting them. “In the year 1824 an effort was made to restore the value and usefulness of the Botanic Gardens, and Sir M.

Nothing further, however, appears to aeTs bee dons for the Garden till 1840, when the sum of £300 was ‘ Bee for the improvement of the Garden at Bath and for ies: ne ten of a Botanist.’ This sum, afterwards reduced to £200, was placed in the hands of the members of St. Thomas-in-the-Kast, Portland Board of Directors of the Bath of St. Thomas the Apostle. The late Mr. Nathaniel Wilson was appointed Curator of the Garden in 1847, and devoted many years, often labouring under great di iscouragements, in maintaining and improving the Garden and introducing new plants. His “yearly reports contain sufficient evidence of the value of the Garden, small as it was, to an island entirely dependent for its prosperity on its agricultural interest ; and assisted and encouraged by the Rev. Thomas Wharton Mr. Wilson laboured most successfully in the propagation and distribution of valuable plants, and especially in developing the ‘ fibre’ resources of the colony. “Tn 1857 a grant was passed by the Legislature for purchasing land for a Botanic Garden at Castleton, in the parish of St. Mary, 19 miles from Kingston, and steps were at once taken to establish the Garden and remove such plants as could be spared from “ Writing in 1861 Mr. Wilson referred to the successful intro- duction of seeds of the valuable cinchona tree to Jamaica, ‘ throug the liberality of ih British Government and recommendation of Sir W. J. Hooker of Kew.’ By the month of October, 1861, Mr. Wilson reported that he had ‘over 400 healthy plants quite ready for planting out.’ As the climate of Bath was unsuitable for the successful growth of cinchona, by the kindness of the late Dr. Hamilton, they were tried at Cold Pager Coffee Plantation, St. Andrew, at an elevation of 4,000 feet. Here Mr. Wilson found ‘the climate and soil to be all he oot desire, Sard as it afforded every facility for carrying out so valuable an experiment he at once cng ee himself of it, and planted out in the coffee fields, on the 16th November, 1861, several plants of each species, then about 2 and 24 inches in height. In twelve months after a plant of the red bark (Cinchona Pe ee had attained to the height of 44 inches, with leaves measuring 13} inches long by 83 inches bro ae (bie same plants in December, 18683, 7.¢., when two years old, ured six feet in height, with 10 bra inches, having a Sictiiterdite of iat at a base of 4} inches. “Tn 1862-63 a grant was made for the salary of an Assistant Gardener to Mr. Wilson, and Mr, Robert Thomson, formerly of ens received the appointment. “The Garden at Castleton was then finally established and ultimately, by the influence of Sir John Peter Grant, the Govern- ment Cinchona Plantations were opened in 1868, and placed under the management of Mr, Thomson, who, on Mr. Wilson’ —— had been appointed Superintendent of the Botanic G “The export of cinchona bark from the Government piso to the 30th September, 1884, was 73,533 pounds of the value of £16,327. There was no exportation in 1885. A consignment 24300 B2 68 i iti London in f 150 bags of various qualities was despatched to Bedsnrber, 1886. The bark weighed 17,009 pounds and was sold 4 ‘ for £542 9s. There has been no export since that time “ Mr. Thomson retired on pension in 1878, and in December, pla in 1886 as Assistant Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, the Department was placed under the charge of the present pee Mr. W. Faweett, of the Natural History Department of the Britis Museum. “In the report of the Royal Finance Commissioners this Department is mentioned as follows :— “*Tn a purely agricultural country like Jamaica a well organized epartment of Gardens and Plantations is invaluable, not only for introducing and propagating such plants as are most suitable to the climate and soil, but also for the dissemination of the work, and the public appreciation of the opportunities afforded by it is spreading fast.’ “The Department of Public Gardens and Plantations issues a Monthly Bulletin, affording information ‘on cultural industries, and on the diseases of plants, on soils, and on native plants.’ The Bulletin igs supplied free of cost to residents in the Island, and is a most useful agent in the dissemination of information among all classes,” X.—BAMBARRA GROUND-NUT, ( Voandzeia subterranea, Thou.)

A general account of the Cola nut has been already given in the Kew Bulletin for 1890, pp. 253-260. In an article by Count Zech on Cola of West Africa (Mitth. a. ad. Deutsch | chutzgebieten xiv., p. 12, 1901) reference is made to the “ Laboshi” Cola est Africa, which is stated by him to be more prized by the Cola experts and traders of the Soudan than the Ashanti Cola. The Count mentions especially nine localities as providing this superior Cola, viz., Laboshi, Fashi, Yakudi, Gbaki, Patchiko, Kimbokun, Bete, Bitagi and Koda. In January, 1904, specimens reached Kew from Mr. W. R. Elliott, Forestry Officer, Northern Nigeria, of the Cola found by him growing in the Labogie district of the province of N upe in N. Nigeria. The letter accompanying the botanical specimens states that “this particular variety of Kola nut is in great demand “ throughout the whole of Northern Africa, and it fetches locally ‘* almost double the price of the kind with four or five cotyledons.” The letter continues :—“The Kola plantations at Labogie and * other places in the district are situated in sheltered valleys at an “elevation of from 450 to 550 feet above the sea. The soil is a “deep, black, sandy loam, and is kept in a continuous state of ‘“‘ moisture by the streams that are found in each val ey. Very “ little care is taken of the trees, and they are found growing with “the Oil Nut Palm (Hlaeis guineensis). The rainfall of the “* district is probably between 40 and 50 inches, but not a drop of * rain falls from December to April.” On examination, the specimens forwarded by Mr. Elliott were found to belong to the genuine Cola acuminata, Schott & Endl. 1375 Wt72 6/06 D&S 29 24860 A 90 Thi ies is i ‘ical with the Cola of tof K, Schum.).

SYNONYMY OF COLA ACUMINATA. 5 iety | i ; hip of the-species Cola Some dubiety has arisen as to the authorship ay Sipt ite “ Cola acuminata was originally described as Sterculia acumi- “ nata by Palisot de Beauvois in Flora d’ ware et de Benin, * (1805), p. 41, t. 24, from specimens collected in the old kingdom “of Oware in Southern Nigeria, When in 1832, Schott and “ Endlicher established the genus Cola (Meletemata Botanica, k - Brown, who, in 1844, contributed a description of Cola “acuminata to Bennett's Plantae Javanicae Rariores (p. 237) b “for instance in Flora of Tropical Africa, v. I., p. 220, Kew “ Bulletin for 1890, p. 253, and as recently as 1900 by K. Schumann “in his Sterculiaceae Africanae, p, 125, * however, is given in the Index Kewensis. “ Another complication was introduced into the nomenclature “ of the group of species to which Cola acuminata belongs, by “ K. Schumann’s assumption that the Sterculia of Palisot de ** Beauvois was not the source of the so-ca “ Palisot de Beauvois’s figures, particularly that of the embryo which shows two large cotyledons, leave, however, no doubt that e meant what is now known as ‘ true Cola,’ so that Cola vera, “ K. Schum. has to be considered as a synonym of Cola acuminata, “ Schott & Endl.” “ a“ THE Coa INDUSTRY OF THE GOLD Coast. Dr. Gruner, District Commissioner, Togoland, who visited the Gold Coast in August, 1903, on behalf of the German Colonial Agricultural Committee i regarding the Cocoa and an interesting Lis Visit i " Tropenpflanzer, August, September, October, 1904, A précis of this ik ae drawn up by : 91 Mr. W.H. ~gicceer F.L.S., Director of Agriculture, Gold Coat, has just been issued by the Governm me - “sg Gold Coast Colony. The note dueling: with Cola is as follow “The cola tree is very seldom sia aid the tending of those “trees produced by natural agency is pe to the clearing away “of bush and weeds; but every such tree has an owner, who “claims this right in virtue of having offected the first clearing. “Cola trees raised from seed commence to fruit when six: or ° even years old; produce is small at this period, but increases ” «early until the tree is mature, when it will yield from 40 to 50 “ frui ns Wo crops are produced nen in 7 septate and April, of “which the former is the principal. Fruits which fall off the “trees are not collected, as show spoil saulaly aa plucked from “the trees are stored in the shade, as the hot sun turn 2 ee “time, the skin can be readily removed with the fingers. If the “nuts harvested exceed the demand, the surplus is skinned and “packed with the leaves of a particular plant (Thaumatococeus “ Danielli, Benth.) in broad baskets made of palm leaves, and “ stored. “The Hausas, who are the principal consumers, convey salt to .“ the cola districts and barter it for cola, 1 1b. of salt valued at 6d, “being exchanged for 100 cola nuts. "The price of cola, in the “ districts where it is produced, actnates between 3d. and Is. per “100 nuts, but in Accra cost o oes raises it to ls. 6d. per “100. Cola is peinsipally, expo} rte by sea to Pag 08 5 the value of “the exports in 1900 and 1901 were © £13,139 and £35, 024 respec- “tively, while the stata annual value of the exports overland “to the hinterland is £75,000. _ “The principal cola markets in Akim are — Essam “ Kwaben, Tumfa, and Kankan. In Kwaben or Tumfa it is = oe "to ee se from a single person 10 liad containing 2,000 nuts each. Previously the cola produced in Ashanti was 5 only caachaaes by ees and transported by rem pwearelgan “to the Hausa States, but the restoration of order in Ashanti and “the completion of the railway to Kumasi ae “facilitated the ‘transport of this crop to the coast.” XVI.—FUNGI EXOTICI, IV.

Seeing that the cultivation of cba > cota ake ined valuable arti Som ar a cle, from the pen of n the issue of Natwe for 95 “is the fundamental condition of human existence with any “i mY cae to civilisation, large is a very moderate description: - “T take it that the object of the writer was to discuss the part * that the Home Country should play in advancing agriculture in is i ich seems to me “important enough to receive a little discussion. It is one with “which I have been a good deal occupied during the past thirty *‘vears. I should like therefore to attempt to define the present “ position of the problem a little more precisely. “May I begin with a very obvious remark: Agriculture is/a “sort of ‘noun of multitude.’ There is undoubtedly only one “ agricultural science based on phy siologicsl principles : there are “ many agricultural ‘arts’ based on the application of that science, “whether empirical or liheralad to widely different physical “conditions. The agriculture of the Lo thishe. differs widely from “that of Bengal, and both differ from that possible on the Gold ** Coast. is will seem to pag an absurdly trite remark. “ Nevertheless, experience shows that it represents a fact which “has ane en been overlooked with loss and disappointment as the oe resu “It may, I think, be confidently stated that arable posse rb an ‘int and highly specialised agriculture. This is 2 readi ee illustrated by the Lora of wheat per acre. On land of ** prai value where the nitrogen removed is balanced by that 6 Leberinety from the atmosphere it has Heeti shown at Rothamsted “that the yield is roughly some ten bushels or Jess.

Sir Daniel Morris is “quoted as saying in regard to the former :— Agricultural **education is at the root of the successful development of these “* Colonies.’ This is perfectly true, only I rather doubt whether “the writer of the article quite understood the reason. In “ temperate countries agriculture is a necessity of existence; in “many tropical it is not. The wasteful production of a few “ground provisions calls for the minimum of effort and is suffi- “cient to sustain indolence, But with the introduction of orderly n C “has laid it down that :—‘in the Crown Colonies generally ... ***the only taxable fund is the wage fund supplied by the annnal “* proceeds of the cultivation of the land’ (Proc. Colonial Institute, “vol. xxxvi., p. 248). To induce the negro to engage in profitable “cultivation instead of contenting himself with a bare modicum “of ground provisions, provides a source of revenue, raises his “standard of comfort, and makes for his moral progress. But he “has to be taught by example how to do it and this is the agri- “cultural education which Sir Daniel Morris had in his mind. It “is widely different from anything of the kind in the country. “In point of fact Tropical Agriculture has little relation to that Temperate countries. Its methods are those of Horticulture : “it is essentially extended gardening. For the supply of men for “use. The problem has had to be met in a wholly different way. ‘The machinery for the purpose is compendiously described in ; 8 r **trained at Kew.’ The sort of success that has attended the “system may be illustrated by a single example. Cacao was “introduced to the Gold Coast from Kew. In 1891 the export “* was valued at £4. In 1900 I was able to exhibit at the Paris =00,000, In effect Cacao is exchanged for imported goods ; “besides thus adding to the comfort of the cultivators, it enables “For work of this kind the Empire has to depend on Kew i ral “school.

XIX.—PERSIAN GUM. (Amygdalus leiocarpa, Boiss.) From time to time consignments of gum of dissimilar character appear in the commerce of this country as Gum Arabic, not the least interesting being the subject of this note. Little appears to have been written regarding this product however, but the following details gathered from the Pharmaceutical Journal, March 29th, 1890, p. 793, may be quoted, not only as throwing light upon the subject, but also as an illustration of the difficulty frequently “order that it may be substituted for Kordofan gum. It is thence “ however, is described as not soluble in water, but only swelling “up in it, and as being less brittle than Kordofan gum. Professor “ Sickenberger suggests that this Persian gum may be the produce “market resemble East Indian or Senegal gum of good colour “rather than the white minutely cracked Kordofan gum.” With regard to the suggestion that this gum may possibly be derived from P. bokhariensis and P. Puddum, it may be well to state here that the Herbarium contains no specimens of the first mentioned species, and as far as can be ascertained there is no published description of it. In Hooker’s Flora of British India, Vols Ij: p. 315, At in placed under P. "iioiiiatay. Huds., var. 110 In response to an application made to the India Office, samples of the gums of P. Puddum and P. communis were collected in the Punjab and forwarded to Kew in July, 1890. These bear little resemblance to the Persian gum, though they agree with it in being insoluble in. water. ‘The Museum contains three samples of Persian gum, all apparently identical. -The oldest sample was received as “ Wild Imond Gum” so long ago as August, 1854. Another sample ste “looks externally very like Gum Arabic. The same kind of gum “is also sold at Kirman under the name of ‘Djibd i Ardjan,’ “ whilst it is replaced by the gum of a plum (‘ Samgh-i-alutschah ’) “and of a cherry (‘Samgh I gilas’) in Ispahan.” (See Andreas und Stolze in Peterm. Geogr. Mitth. Erganz., B. XVIL., IL., p. 15.) From the notes and material obtained by Dr. Stapf it is evident that some if not the greater part of the Persian Gum of commerce is derived from Amygdalus letocarpa, Boiss. In the Diplomatic and Consular Report on the trade of Bushire for the year 1905 it appears that there is an increasing export of gum from that port, as the following figures show :— ) : — | 1903. 1904, 1905, Increase. = Ee Aare | shim Re Rs Value, _ Value.

H XX—PERPETUATION OF <“ POTATO DISEASE” AND POTATO “LEAF-CURL” BY MEANS OF HYBERNATING MYCELIUM. u diffusion of Spores during a period special meteorological conditions favoured the eapid 111 ing, foetid condition within 24 hours. Again, in the case of every fungus epidemic proved to be ane aes the diffusion of spores, the disease always originates from o r more primary centres of infection, and gradually extends, ga wale in the case of potato disease the appearance of the epidemic is often simultaneous over a considerable area. These considerations suggested the existence of some method other than dissemination by means of spores as the cause of such sudden outbreaks of disease. The presence of mycelium can _ readily be Sete, dae in the tissues of diseased potato tubers, and a series of exper miei conducted at Kew have conclusively proved that such stave ing mycelium in a tuber is capable, under favourable prc of perpetuating the disease. Three diseased potato tubers showing rusty stains agate ngtorn of the presence of Phytophthora mycelium in the flesh were each cut into two equal parts. Each half tuber was khied separately steam, was used in all the ae ation oe nts. Three of the pots were placed in a house having a temperature ranging between 70° and 80° Fahr., in dull light, and with the moisture often at saturation point. Each pot was placed under a bell jar. The three remain- ing pots were placed in a well-lighted house, ‘without any artificial heat, and with an exceptionally dry atmosphere. hese pots ll An l were not placed under bell-jars. equal amount of water was supplied to each of the six a The three plants grown under conditions of high temperature, dull light, and much moisture in the air, showed the first indication of Phytophthora when the shoots were six weeks old, and a fortnight later the three planis were blackened and destroyed by the fungus. The three plants grown in the cool, nen pes i dry house ore no trace of disease at the a of tw ae when one of Similarly marked results were obtained by using potato tubers produced by a plant that was badly infested with potato ‘ leaf-ourl” 112 jor ] rOvi at this disease can Macrosporium. solani, Cooke), proving tha Mo a A ane te by hybernating mycelium present in the tubers. indicat ‘ to another by indicated can be transmitted from one generation means of mycelium present in the tubers, al emonstrate another point of much practical importance, namely, that the absence of obvious disease in a crop does not necessarily prove the absence of such disease in a /atent form. In the experiments described above, it was known at the commencement that the six half-tubers were all diseased. The three plants grown in the hot, damp, badly-lighted house were promptly destroyed, simply because the conditions indicated nae detrimental to the growth of the potato but highly favourable to ance, and the practical man would, without hesitation, have pronounced the plants free from disease. Every potato grower of experience can predict almost with certainty the moment when potato disease will appear ; the necessary conditions are warm, damp, dull weather, but instead of the sudden outbreak being due to the rapid diffusion of spores, as has hitherto been believed, it is far more probable that in the jori is due to the existence of mycelium, already present in the tissues, which had hitherto been prevented an aggressive form owing to the absence of favourable climatic conditions, _ GEORGE MASSEE.

Chinese Wood Oil has long been known to specialists in Hate country as one of the most important vegetable products of Chi Hitherto it has been accepted w without question that Alewrites cordata, R. Br., was the species ah which this oil was obtained. Resens: ‘investigations by Mr. W. B. Hemsley, in the course of a revision by him of the genus Aleurites, has led him to conclude that the T’ung Yu of the Chinese—the source of the true Chinese wood oil—is not A. cordata, but a very distinct species, A. Fordii, Hemsl. It is, however, certain that A. cordata, R. Br., affords a similar product. The resumé of his results, supplied by Mr. Hemsley, which is given at the end of this note, will show how intricate the confusion between the various species of Alewrites has been. This confusion has been partly the result and partly the cause of a confusion that has prevailed with regard to their economic properties. In an interesting article on this subject in the Chemist and Druggist, May 31st, 1902, which is quoted freely in this note, Dr. A. Henry states ‘that he has met with the T’ung Yu tree wild of from ¢ o 5, feet, where it attains a h bout 40 feet.

It might be tried in barren mountainous regions where farming or ordinary planting would be impossible. ; Two varieties of oil are obtained from the seeds, distinguished as white t’ung oil, which is cold drawn and is a yellow, trans- r er work, as in making putty used in caulking boats, for painting boats, &c.; the latter variety does not appear to be exported. Wood oil is stated to be the best drying oil known, and to be superior in this respect to linseed oil. The chief use to which it is put in China is for preserving woodwork, to which it imparts a upkeep of their vessels—only this oil, which answers the purpose admirably, the boats having a marvellously clean appearance and glistening in the sun like mirrors, 2 Within the past ten years t’ung oil has been ex ported in increasing quantities to European and American ports, the Americans being the first to appreciate the qualities of the oil. from leakage—sometimes as much as 35 per cent. ; therefore efforts are being made to induce the Chinese to employ casks of smaller capacity. The oil is frequently adulterated with, it is believed, bean oil extracted from ‘the seeds of Glycine hispida, Maxim., which seriously affects its drying properties. Smaller quantities of the oil are shipped from Canton, this being considered of superior quality to that exported from Hankow. Large quantities of oil are algo exported from Wenchow to Hong Kong, thence to Singapore for distribution.

Much confusion prevails in botanical literature as regards the application of the names of the species of Alewrites. This is largely due to the fact that the common inese species, the T’ung Yu or Wood Oil Tree, has hitherto been erroneously regarded as identical with the species, Alewrites cor originally described by Thunberg as and: source of error, but of a different kind, has been the assumption, especially by earlier writers, that Dryandra cordata, Thunb., and Yarns montana, Lour., which are in reality i identical, were 120 different trees, The results of a careful study of the material available and of the literature of the subject are here briefly summarised. s Meares cordata, R.

E. Spach (Hist.

K. Fraser Se a most interesting report on this industry in 1839, in which he says the bam f © knot is now cut off from each hni-laung. The finest splitting is effected by cutting from the root end of 143 each hni-lawng towards the top. These specially prepared /ni- laungs are now deposited in water for three days, in order to soften the bamboo. When this has been accomplished, the bamboo is now ready for splitting into slender strips as desired. The inner and outer bark of the bamboo from each hn ni-laung is first stripped off and thrown away. The outside strips taken from each piece are used for the ribs of the basket, the inside ones for pers weaving of the frame-work. The baskets are worked over a ould and are commenced by four longitudinal strips being laced Rigtther and other eight longitudinal strips, half the thickness of the four chief ones, being fixed in their positions. The four long strips are now divided each into three, the middle division being removed and the eight subsidiary ol 2 are split each into two. The fine transverse strands or weft the text are now woven within the longitudinal warp and the acuns formed as closely on the mould as possible. When complete the key of the mould is removed by which the mould may now be separated in pieces. Ferrars very truly remarks that so accurately and beautiful are the Burmese wicker-work baskets made that “at first sight it appears incredible that these exact cylindrical boxes with their trays and covers, fitting as if each piece had been turned out of the block, should start from a w wide r-work frame. Yet so it is; the models are plaited so true that the rest of the work can be done ona lathe. To prepare the wicker for lacquering, it is first given a rough-stuffing of fine clay to fill the interstices. The work is then painted with thissi, which penetrates and toughens the clay and binds the fibres of the wicker. When the ¢his-si has set, which takes several days, the work is put on the chuck of a how tathis and ground smooth with a fibrous stone.

The whole is then coated over with gold or silver leaf and the article placed on one side to dry. It is next carefully washed in water, when the elevated designs in paint soften and are carried away, thus revealing the black or red original colour constituting the picture upon the now gold or silver background. This art is practised in Prome, and constitutes the gold and silver lacquer-ware for which that town is famous. e usual design is that shown, Plate 2 (fig. 5), a central panel in quasi- Chinese willow pattern, framed in scrolls of closely compacted floral ornamentations. n studied, The Oleo-resin is thickened with carefully prepared rice thit-si is then broken off in lumps of the requi between the fingers is readily and easily moulded into the form of the bodies of animals, each leg, arm, finger being separately made and stuck on in the desired attitude.

The mouldings blocks are largely used. The ¢hit-si is rolled into strips of the desired thickness, then placed on the table and a mould of soapstone pressed over the top. The material is thus compressed purposes, may be taken up and laid along as required, and, as they soon set with the size, become permanently secured as surface 146 ornamentations. The work is thus rapid and easily accomplished, the effect charming, and the capabilities infinite, on lines not dreamt of in Burma. For portfolio covers, panels of wood are coated with thit-si and embossed with the greatest ease. This form of moulding material is usually made with bone-ash as the thickening substance. thick layer is placed over the sized plaque or other object, and while still plastic a soapstone mould is pressed home. If it be desired to illuminate portions of the design, the mould is removed and pieces of coloured glass pressed into the portions where coloured elaborations are deemed necessary. It is then allowed to set, and may be sized and gilded or coloured in any fashion desired, and finally varnished over and placed aside to dry slowly. Plate 2 (fig. 2) shows portfolio boards with a rich design in black moulded lacquer resembling the most elaborate carved black ebony work.

In the course of three or four days, in hot weather, the article will have dried sufficiently for the further stage to be ‘proceeded with. It is rubbed with a stone and finally with the rough leaves of Ficus Cunia until it is quite smooth. It is then soaked in water and again polished with the leaves, and then once or twice coated with pure khew varnish. This is prepared by straining the oleo-resin once or twice through cloth.

(Sideroxylon dulcificum, A. DC.) Travellers in tropical Africa have frequently drawn attention to the existence of a plant whose fruit could change the flavour of the most acid substance into a delicious sweetness. The plant is a member of the natural order Sapotaceaec. It is known to the Fante races as assarbah, and in the Accra and Adampe districts of the Gold Coast as tahmé. It is indigenous to Ashante, and extends to Popo, Dahomey, Yoruba, and many districts in the Gulf of Guinea. The tree is seldom found near the coast. The largest quantities of fruits are obtained from a considerable distance inland, and from localities with rich and loamy soils. A full account of the plant is given in the Phar oe Journal, Vol. XI. (1852), pp. 445-448, by Dr. Daniell, under name of Synsepalum dulcificum. In De Candolle, Prodromus VIL, p. 183, it is described as Sideroxrylon dulcificum, DC., the name now adopted. It is a small tree or shrub with leaves four to five inches long, crowded at the ends of the branches. The flowers are small and numerous, produced in the axils of the leaves. i by * soft ptr wherein lies the peculiar sweetening property. A somewhat similar des eo to that described as existing in Si caareyton dulcificum is also said to exist ina plant belonging to the natural order Sieséekentnaas. This is the katemfe or katemphe of the Akoos and other Yoruba tribes, and is the “miraculous fruit of the Soudan.” It is described in the Pharmaceutical Journal, thee XIV. (1855), p. 159, as Phrynium Danielli, Bennet, the name under which it is now known being Thaumatococeus ane Benth. the Siderorylon fruits Mr. W. H. Johnson, Director of Atlcaitars, Gold Coast, informs me that he has sgn them particularly useful when ta king quinine for fever, and t if a lemon be sucked within two or three hours of eating one of the fruits its sate flavour is entirely counteracted. : With the view of having the ete of these plants investi- gated plants were Bhesiiad fect Ta gos in 1889, and distributed to India and several of the Colonies, but J oe no record concerning them has been received at Kew Jd. Me ds 25252 172 XXVIII.—THE EBEN TREE OF OLD CALABAR. (Pachylobus edulis, G. Don.) The Eben tree is cultivated in various parts of Old Calabar for the sake of its fruits, the outer portion of which is eaten after being boiled or roasted. Kxamples of these fruits were first sent to Kew with this name by the Rev. Hugh Goldie in January, 1838. These were collected in Creektown. The writer’s attention was directed to them, ten years later, by the Keeper of the Museum at ew, who suggested that on his return to West Africa the writer should furnish material adequate to admit of accurate determina- re tree in the Botanic Garden at Old Calabar. They reached Kew in 1898, and showed that the Eben tree is Pachylobus edulis, G. Don (Natural Order Burseraceae). In September, 1905, Mr. McLeod, of the Forestry Department, Southern Nigeria, sent another speci- men collected at Uwet, on the Calabar River. There were no fruits with the Uwet specimen. The species has been figured in Hooker’s Icones Plantarum, t. 2566-7 (1899), where its synonymy and distribution are state to be as follows :— “ Pachylobus edulis, G. Don, Syst. ik; ip, 89.

Numerous specimens from different localities seem to establish the specific identity of Pachy- lobus Saphu with P, edulis. Indeed, Don’s original specimen of the latter is labelled ‘ Safu,’ and Don stated the fruit was a native of St. Thomas, and its fruit was sold in the island under that name,” “ Kben ” is the Kifik name, although Thomson, with the specimen referred to in the Icones, from Old Calabar (1863), does not mention the name, nor does he make any remark as to the uses to ch it is put. Mr. McLeod gives the name “ Bban ” with his specimen (1905). The writer observed the tree on the way to Uwet overland from Old Calabar ; at Okuni on the left caus and at Ikum on the right bank of the Cross River; but he does not remember having seen it at any place visited westward ee the Old Calabar district.

Mr. WALTER HACKETT, Foreman of the Tropical Department of the Royal Botanic Garden ns, has been appointed Assistant a of the Botanic Garden, Liverpool. Mr. Hackett entered Kew as a young gardener i in September, 1897. He was promoted Sub- iicckaane of the Tropical Department in January, 1899, and Foreman of the same Department in 1901. The vacancy caused by Mr. Hackett’s resignation has been filled by the transfer of Mr. ©. P. Raffill from ne “origi ter House, while Mr. William Taylor, Sub-foreman in the Tropical ener page succeeds Mr. Raffill as Foreman of the leas wharte Hou WILLIAM MATHEWS, M.A., F.R.G.S.—In June, tee Mrs. Mathews communicated to ae ‘the desire of her husbanc 174 to dispose of his botanical collections where they would be use- ful, and offered to send the whole to Kew to be retained there or be presented to other establishments, as the Director should advise. The offer was accepted, and, by mutual agreement, the excellent British collection was presented to the Hastings Museum, Wor- cester, and the considerable Foreign collection, with the exception of a ‘few specimens retained for Kew, was presented to the herbarium of Glasgow University. Mr. Mathews died at Broad- water Down, Tunbridge Wells, on the 5th September, 1901, and since his death Mrs. Mathews has found sundry other collections of dried plants which she has transmitted to Among them were a few from Iceland which have been incorporated iA the Kew Herbarium. The ae comprising between 600 an 700 specimens, have been sent to Glasgow. Mr. M aioe ous born at Hagley, eee Riniitipbad: in 1828, and was educated at King’s College, London, and St. John’s College, Cambridge. After taking the degree of M.A., he joined the Birmingham firm of land surveyors of which his father was the head. He began studying botany at Cambridge under Babington, and after his return to Birmingham pursued the subject with great ardour, soon becoming an authority on the flora of Warwickshire and Worcestershire. He was a contributor to the Phytologist, — Journal of Botany, to Bagnall’s Flora of Warwickshire, and t Lees’s Botany of Worcester shire, and was the author of a Flora of the Clent and Lickey Hills. His travels abroad were chiefly in the Alps and Algeria, where he made the foreign collections alluded to above. The results of his study of the flora of Algeria are given in a little work entitled The Flora of Algeria considered in Tae to the Physical History of the Mediterranean Region and es Submergence of the Sahara, published in 1880. r. Mathews was also a geologist and a great climber of peaks. He e was a al friend of the late John Ball, and one of the co-founders of the Alpine Club, a contributor to its literature, and one of its early Presidents, In r recognition of his geographical discoveries in the Italian Alps, he was decorated by a Victor Emmanuel with the Order of St. Maurice and St. Laza Picea brewe riana.—Arboriculturists will ~ interested to know in perfect health.

Bieber & of Fenchurch Chilian or Coquito Nut Palm (Jubaea spectabilis, H.B.K.).—The Museum is indebted to Prof. C. S. Sargent, Director of the Arnold Arboretum, for a sample of “ Miel de P alma” or Palm Honey from Chile, ‘prepared from the sap extracted from the trunk. A good tree, it is said, will yield as much as 90 gallons of sap, which is sositlentnala by boiling into the thickness of treacle. The fruits may frequently be m ith in this country under the name of “ Pigmy Cocoa Nuts” < “Stanley Nuts.” The kernels are edible and are rene into various kinds of confectionery. See Museum No. II., Case 62. A fine specimen of this palm is growing in the Temperate House, 176 Orchella Weed.—Under this name, which is usually applied to various species of Roccella, a specimen of Li m the West Coast of South America was recently received from a Liverpool firm for determination. The plant was found to be Parmelia n employed as substitutes for Rocella. None of these substitutes has been considered, however, to be of the same value as Kt. tinetoria. Before the introduction of coal-tar dyes, Orchella or Orchil was largely used for dyeing, the principal Species so employed being Feccella _tinctoria. At the present time, Orchella is chiefly employed in the preparation of Litmus. Oil-seeds.—Samples of Oil seeds for determination are frequently received at the Museum, more particularly from Liverpool and L larl ondon firms. Of those recently submitted the following may be recorded :— OWALA of GABOON, OPACHALA of the EBOE COUNTRY (Pentaclethra macrophylla, Benth.), a tree of the natural order Leguminosae, native of Upper Guinea, attaining a height of 50 or 5 samples of which have been frequently received from Liverpool oil merchants for determination. Specimens of the pods, seeds, and oil are exhibited in Case 43, Museum No, 1. A living plant will be found in the collection. ‘ g. Southern India, Burma and Ceylon, Java, Timor, &c. The fruit __An interesting series of products from this tree, includin Macassar oil from the Dutch Kast Indies, and samples of “ Samba” \\ 177 or “ Key Nuts” sie oil received from the neighbourhood of New Guinea, are shown in Case 27, Museum No.l. A living plant will be found in the collection, SHEA BUTTER TREE (Butyrospermum Parkii, Kotschy), found n Upper Guinea and Nile Land. It belongs to the natural order Siotaccae, and attains a height of 30 to 40 feet, with a trunk 5 to 6 feet in diameter, branching like an oak, and Yielding a copious milky juice which coagulates into a friable resinous substance, re- sembling an inferior quality of gutta. The fruit is ellipsoid, 1} to 2 inches long with a thin pericarp, and usually contains a single seed with very thick cotyledons. A solid fat is obtained by the natives by drying the kernels in the sun, after which they are bruised and finally boiled, when the fat floats to the ratings and is skimmed off for use. This product is employed by the ere as food, for anointing their bodies, and also asa luminant. She butter is exported to Europe for the manufacture of soap, shiedy: in combination with other oils. A gutia-like substance to the extent of -7 tu ‘75 Se cent. is present in Shea butter. See Kew Report for 1878, 38. Specimens of all these products are contained in Case "3, Museum No. 1. A living plant will be found in the collection. Collection of Drawings of Orchids by the late John Day.—In September, 1902, Mrs. Wolstenholme, of High Cross, Tottenham, sister of Mr. John Day, well known during his period as an amateur grower of orchids, presented to Kew the very valuable collection of drawings of cultivated orchids made hat gentleman. Mrs . Wolstenholme had previously bequeathed the collection to Kaw, ae that she was delaying its neither by keeping it in ‘her ssion. As delivered at Kew, it con sisted of 53 oblong are of about 90 pages each, with a complete index. The books have since been bound in 17 volumes, and they contain approximately 3,000 coloured draw- ings, with about 300 in sepia, besides copious original notes and a large number of cuttings from the “ Gardeners’ Chronicle” and other papers relating to orchids. We have not succeeded in ferns, to which he had for some ye much coos Shortly afterwards he took up the aor of orchi built suitable ——_ and soon filled m with valuable Seti. 178 travelling to more remote places, and he subsequently went to ndia, Ceylon, Brazil, and Jamaica. In J881, previous to these longer journeys, his collection of orchids was brought to the hammer, and realised £7,000. Three plants of Cypripedium Stonet, var. platytaenium, fetched over £400. Subsequently he again became a collector of living orchids, chiefly of rare and curious kinds. But latterly he devoted much attention to the dried ferns he had collected on his travels. He died on January 15th, 1888, and his second collection of orchids was sold in May of the same year, when a small plant of the Cypripedium mentioned above brought the sum of £159 12s. For some years Mr. Day employed Mr. C. B. Durham, a miniature painter, who exhibited largely at the Royal Academy and Suffolk Street galleries between 1828 and 1858, to make coloured drawings of orchids ; and from a note in the Kew Correspondence there were 300 drawings by this artist made at a cost of £3 each. This collection, described as a very fine one, was sold by auction after r. Day’s death, and is now the property of Mr. Jeremiah Colman, of Gatton Park, Surrey.

All of the earlier ones are in ink; but in many places he after- verance was soon rewarded with great success. Practically all he did after this was coloured. In December, 1882, he wrote to Kew applying for a pass of admission to the gardens before the general public, in order that he might make drawings of the “smaller, insignificant orchids.” This was granted, and writing again in he mentions that he had drawn at least 70 that he had not seen elsewhere. His last Kew drawing is dated October 29, 1887. From time to time he presented living plants to Kew. 179 The fact that the John Day collection contains drawings of a large number of the types of Reichenbach’s species adds greatly to its value, as most of them are not otherwise represented at Kew, and probably in no other herbarium except the Reichenbachian shut up at Vienna, which, according to the terms of Reichenbach’s testament, will not be accessible till 1914. ee a m and amounted to over 11,500 sheets.

Nymphaea ——- Thunb.—Through the courtesy of Dr. F. R.

Nymphaea capensis, Thunberg in Prodromus Plant. aa Pars Pea » p. 92 (1800). Specimen authenticum ex Herb. Ups In the joint opinion of Mr. N. E. Brown and the writer of this note, the following are identical with the above, viz., Nymphaea scutifolia, A. P. de Candolle in Syst. Nat. II. "50 a 821): also } , Mag. t. 552 (1801) ; also Andr. Rep. t. 197; and N. stellata of Harvey in Flora Capensis, I. 14, ‘tons of Willd.). We have not seen Krause No. 1235, Flora Cap- und Natal-landes, p. 25, which is the N. capensis, Thunb. of Meisner in Hooker's Londons Journal of Botany, I. 461, but as Krause collected it in the Zitzikamma river “ isalbane ” that was probably the true plant of Thunberg, whose name was otherwise lost sight of, partly owing to the brevity of his fesse but partly owing to comparison with dried specimens an gures of other Nymphaeas, notably with the Egyptian N. caerulea of Savigny and the N, palate of Willd., a very different form which jihough 184 allied to certain West African types, does not occur in South Africa. The true N. capensis is represented in the Kew Herbarium by the following examples :— 457 Zeyher, in the Zwartkop River, District of Uitenhage ; 4202 Burchell, collected in Bushman’s River, near Rauten- bach’s Drift, Albany Div., Nov. 2, 1813 [this is the type of . N. scutifolia, D.C.]; 19 Ecklon and Zeyher, 1835, “in rivulo prope ‘ Zeekoe. valley ’ (Cap) et in fluvio ‘ Zwartkop’s Rivier (Uitenhage) Jan-Mart” ; [In the river at Enon, Uitenhage Division] South Africa, Drege ;_1084/P.M.0. Macowan, in fluvio Zwartkopsa Uit. Rivier prope Uitenhage, Dec. 1886: 1041 R. Baur, Enon. b. Uitenhage ; 2261 Wolley-Dod, Retreat Vley [leaf doubtful]. Other specimens from South Africa referred to N. capensis, N. scutifolia and N. stellata, are more or less unsatisfactory or doubtful, and those from the Transvaal and Zambesi region rather approach N. zanzibariensis, Caspary, a form united with N. scutifolia, DC., by Hook. fil. and others, but probably a good species. N. capensis, Thunb., seems to be endemic in South Africa from Cape Town to the Natal border, in rivers and pools, chiefly near the coast; the forms from Madagascar and the Comoro group that have been referred to the same species appear to be distinct, and are probably, as most species of the genus evidently on. Thunberg’s plant was doubtless that given by Breyn (Prodr. IL, p. 86, 1739 ed.) as “Nymphaea flore eaeruleo odoratissimo Capitis Bonae Spei” ; De Candolle quotes the same descr} ption from the earlier edition (1689), which ig the first mention seemingly of this species. It was afterwards confounded with the scentless ars i u and Wolley-Dod (Trans. 8. Afr. Phil. Soc. KIV. 207) as “ locally frequent in Vleys.” Thunberg’s own type appears from Schultes Langekloof country in the month of December.

In the light of more complete material now available for study, it transpires that the ific. two are conspecific Saussurea villosa, Franch. in Journ. de Bot., Vol. 11. (1888), p. 3853 = Suussurea hieracioides, Hook. fil. in Fl. Br. Ind. ITI. 37]. S. hieracioides, Hook. fil., was founded on a single gathering from Tungu in Sikkim, and named with reference to the radical leaves which recall those of H. pilosella, Linn. Franchet based his S. villosa on a Yunnan plant, No. 34 Abbé Delavay, which he distinguished from S. hieracioides by the heads (in villosa) being smaller, and by the long bristles of the recep- tacle. In all the examples then known, and in a plant collected in Kansu by Przewalski, which has a large head like that of the specimen now received for examination, the scapes bore one head only, but in No. 589, collected by the late Abbé Soulié in Tachienlu, which in habit and the outline of the radical leaves connects hieracioides and villosa completely, there is a scape with 3 from the sa Hupeh, which Mr. Hemsley has referred to S. villosa, Franch., has root leaves nearly a foot in length, and the scape is branched fastigiately for about the last five inches. 607 and 653 Pratt (Tachienlu) show the gradation in the leaves and heads quite plainly, and there can be no doubt that the whole material noted above as well as No. 370 Soulié belongs to one very variable Species. I can find no difference in the paleae, which indeed Seem to vary in the same capitulum. The flowers have the smell of the European Centaurea nigra, Linn. Has. Alps of Indo-China 9-13,000’ from Inner Sikkim to Yunnan and the Kiala Province of West China. Botanical Magazine for June.—The plants figured are Magnolia hypoleuca, Sieb. et Zuce., Gonioscypha eucomoides, Bak., Gerbera aurantiaca, Sch. Bip., Gladiolus primulinus, Bak., and Rhodo- dendron Vaseyi, A. Gray, all of which are in cultivation at Kew. The Magnolia is a distinct species, native of Japan and China, valued in the former country for its timber and in China for the 7 ; t able in having bright yellow flowers. The plant figured was sen to Kew by Mr. CG F. H. Monro, of Bulawayo, and flowered in a 25252 D 186 frame in September last. Rhododendron Vaseyi is found only in North and South Carolina, and its closest allies are natives of e remarkable relationship between the Chino-Japanese and the ras.” e drawing was prepared from plants raised from seed communicated by Prof. Sargent in 1891. __ Flora Capensis.—A further instalment of this work, prepared at Kew on behalf of our South African colonies, has appeared. This part, vol. iv., sect. i.. part ii. (pp. 193-336), contains the conclusion of the genus Hrica by the late Prof. Guthrie and Dr. us. Although the conception of the species is by no “may be on the Cape Peninsula, where 92 species have been more beautiful, and now rarer, species is in the Caledon Division.” Many of the species are extremely local. The great variability of almost all the organs makes the discrimination of individual variations and of forms which might reasonably be treated as species extremely difficult, and demands much experi- mee and tact, such as can only be acquired by continued observa- tion in the field and the study of extensive collections. No men with better qualifications for that task than the authors could have been found. Considering the extremely limited distribution of numerous Species it is not surprising that not a few of them have been collected only once, and some no doubt have since become extinct r only exist in the cultivated state. Moreover, as the earl collectors generally paid little attention to indicating the localities where they collected their Specimens, we do not know and in were not always preserved.

These in a strict sense commenced in 184], when Sir W. Hooker became Director of the Royal Gardens, and continued throughout that directorate and to within two years of the retirement of its successor. But having regard to the fact that the Library and Herbarium of the Royal Gardens were the fons et origo of the scientific status of that institution, the guardians of its nomencla- ture, and the depository of the proofs of its labours, Bentham’s services in the formation of these must count, and they antedate the foregoing by 18 years. It was in 1823, when a resident in the South of France, that he visited England and took the opportunity of going to Glasgow to present letters of introduction to Dr. (after- spot. Kach was forming a botanical library and herbarium, their scientific interests were one and the same, their friendship grew during three succeeding visits of Bentham to Glasgow and ripened into a life-long one. In 1854, finding that his income could not meet the demands for space of his rapidly enlarging library and herbarium, Bentham, with the Director’s cordial approval, offered these to the Government for the use of the Royal Gardens, and they were, after some demur, accepted with the condition that they should be permanently attached to that institution and be accessible to scientific botanists. It must be borne in mind that up to that time the Royal Gardens possessed neither of these necessary implements for the conduct of its duties, the desideratum being supplied by the Director’s private library and herbarium, the latter the most complete in existence ; nor was it till after his death, 1] years subsequent to Bentham’s gift being accepted, that the treasures accumulated by the Director were rescued from the a hammer by the Government and the two Kew Herbaria united, 189 Presentations to the Library during 1902.—Prof. ©. 8, Sargent presented 41 books or pamphlets including : Ahern, Compilation of notes on the most importaut timber tree species of the Philippine Islands, 1901 ; Bontekoe, Gebruik en mis- bruik van de Thee, ete., 1686 ; Burckhardt, Aus dem Walde, 1865-81, 10 vols.; Clavé, Etudes sur économie i eee ‘e, 1862; Collection choisie de plantes et arbustes, 1796, i.; Courtin, Die Familie der ee 1358 ; Demo ontzey, "Toate pratique du reboisement . , 8 montagnes, ed. 2, 1882; Gattinger, The Flora of Tennessee, etc., 2 es Handboek voor de srtpdee - fabrikatic _ — 1843, and Ha ndboek: voor het sor 1845 ; oS Handbuch der omsitucecnen: 1888, "2 voles ; Mackenzie, Manual of the Flora of Jackson County, Missouri, Mique rum R . under in wire sade 1850-53, 1854. geek wo gov copies of the Urtus Sanitatis; both are in Latin, one without place or date, but id Hee to be about 1490, and the other was published at Mainz n 1491; this is the first dated Latin edition.

The first crop of leaves may be harvested three years from the time of planting, and from the first to the third year after beginning to yield a plant will produce 100 to 110 leaves annually, gradually decreasing to between 75 and 80 leaves, continuing pro- ductive for about 15 years. Each plant will yield on an average from 23 to 3 lbs. of fibre. The leaves may be gathered throughout the year, 20 to 25 being cut every 90 days. The plant requires but little attention. After the land has been cleared, the young plants are placed 63 by 64 feet apart each way, which allows of 1,000 to be planted to the acre. The plant is said to thrive best in a sandy and rocky environment. The average yield mentioned in the U.S. Consular Report— 40 to 48 oz. per plant—gives the average yield per leaf at about or under half-an-ounce. This seems low as compared with the Sisal plant as grown in India, where (see Agricult. Ledger, 1900, No. 6, p. 62) it has been found that 2 to 24 oz. of fibre may be obtained from a single leaf. In this case the proportion of fibre to leaf was from 43 to 54 per cent. This proportion was probably In collecting the leaves the labourers use a long-bladed knife with a sharp hook-like curve at the end, which is introduced between the stump and the leaf, and with a dexterous upward jerk the leaf is severed close to the stump. This is essential bt an when immersed in water. he “ Guadalaj In an article on the subject which appeared in the “Guadalajara Gazette” of March 25th last, it is stated that the principal ith prietors of Tantoyucan in Vera Cruz have formed a earns wi a capital of $100,000, to export the Huasteca fibre called Zapupe or Huasteca Henequen. : urists of Tamauli The excellent results obtained by the agricult i f Tactor a. and Coahuila from this plant have decided the people 0 te can to follow theirexample.

Neither fungi nor insects play any part in the disease under consideration, which is of a purely physiological nature, in ordinary language may be stated to be due to irregularities in the ripening of the fruit. 3 make this point clear, a brief explanation of the changes 1g ri i = ymbined causes, is 8 = r¢0) _ To mak that take place during ri necessary. When an apple is fully grown and entering on th d and starch in its tissues. Of course the fruit is yet living and respiration continues, which results in the conversion of the acid and starch respectively into other substances, mostly sugar. During the end of the ripening period a certain amount o fermentation takes place, whereby a portion of the sugary mattter is converted into alcohol and volatile acids. By this means certain substances—ethers--are formed, which constitute the perfume or aroma of fruits On the other hand, when fruit is kept at a temperature not exceeding 35° F., ripening proceeds normally, as the acid is not oxydised sufficiently quickly to set up fermentation at too early a 195 SUMMARY. The injury was due to the fruit being subjected to too high a > He ta during the first period of ripening. Whether this co previous to, or during the voyage could not be ftetaent ned. The Basi that the lower half of each apple that was buried in the packing material remained perfectly free from disease, suggests that if the fruit was completely covered with packing material so as to exclude the free access of air, no injury would be sustained.

The fact is that partly because of the innate sterility of the land, and partly because the cereal crops were a’ it became impossible to cultivate 207 own at Parramatta and the Haw wkesbury. But the impress of the old ploughed fields is still left in the Botanic Gardens in the ape of the large oor beds which, at the present day, mainly compose the Middle Garden. These were simply wheat and barley fields and vegetable gardens,and when the farm evolved into a garden it was sufficient to make paths parallel to and at right angles to the old furrows. After the cereals had disappeared, vegetables, small fruits, and orchard succeeded, and the wishing tree was planted (in 1817) at the intersection of paths. “The attention that had been given in Europe to the remarkable vegetation of New Holland caused the directors of botanical establishments and proprietors of nurseries to compete eagerly for seeds and plants of this country. Sydney had_ practically a monopoly of such sires and hence it came about that cases of plants were consigned to the Botanic Gardens of Sydney by almost every shine: Economic plants were most sought for in Sydney as an exchange, but other interesting and beautiful plants poured in. The early irene aueod (as they were then called) endeavoured to set out the plants they received, according to ae of classification, but the variety was such that this had to be aba ndoned. At the present day, idaiihin. the grou SC licnloaret or bas ee can still see, for example, how the Oleaceae (Ja or Olive fa umily g the Araliaceae, the fen smin culiaceae were planted together in those early days. “Governor Bligh was fond of gardening.

The solitary remaining tree of the old Government House avenue of a century ago is an oak in Phillip Street, opposite the Civil Ambulance Brigade, near the Water Police Co rie The telegraph people hack at it every now and then, and this (perhaps the oldest) relic of the Govern- ment Garden in Sydney, should be placed in my charge before it is too late. There used to be ten or a dozen stone pines just west of old Government House ; one of them stood in Bridge Street up till about 30 years ago. _ “At this time, in a map by Meehan Se teigge wpe hate the native name of Farm Cove is given as Woccan y.

This road was of a total length of three ses and 37 yards, on: measured from the Obelisk in Macquarie Place.

Besides the chair, the inscription ‘ Mrs. Macquarie’s Road, 1816,’ may still be seen ona rock on the left-hand side of the road up the slope after leaving Palmer’s baths. “The completion of Mrs. Macquarie’s Road and its record on the chair was, I consider, the coping-stone of Macquarie’s plans for the definition of the Gar den and Domain. He then appointed le ha ml to supervise the area which he had thus d “ Mrs. Macquarie’s Ghaty is, therefore, the true aeapietga of the Botanic Gardens; the date (June 13, 1816) inscribed on is the official birthday of the Botanic pelees In sina 10 Hats Gardens, and I hope that one way of ¢ sr amp i it will be by the issue of an illustrated hisiorteal volum “Incidentally, I may remark that 1816 is an important year to us for another reason, since on December 21 Allan Cunningham landed in Port Jackson. “Part of Mrs. Macquarie’s Road is lined by swamp mahogany trees (Eucalyptus robusta). These line the north side of the wall from the aviary entrance to the main avenue entrance. “Other trees along this Macquarie Road are the British oaks, from the main Domain entrance opposite the Public Library along the back of phe reel wall, at least as far as the St. Mary’s eases to the Dom a of his house in Phillip Street. This was the tree growing “ if 1816 the sip ae cisend cht of the definitely constituted Botanic Garden, with the title ‘ Colonial Botanist,’ was appointed ‘by Governor Macquarie in the person of Charles "Fraser, a soldier of naing 46th Regiment, who in the following year went with Allan “Let me digress for a moment. ne is oa fashion of Sydney people to speak of the Botanic Gardens in the plural, and this is ow it came about :—The original garden, which we now know as the middle garden, was bounded on the north by the picturesque old stone wall, on fies east by the aviary, on the south by the hothouse avenue, and on the west by the creek. The upper garden was formed partly by taking in jand aca the Domain and 219 partly by absorbing the site of the old house and grounds of the ition tor. The lower garden was formed by enclosing and Eashig into cultivation that portion of land between the middle garden and Farm © “In the year 1817 Mrs. Macquarie had a Norfolk Island pie (raised from seed by Major Antill, it is stated) which had got too large for the gubernatorial garden. She gave orders for it to be planted i in the Government or Botanic Garden. It was placed in e tion was given because the custom grew up amongst the damsels of Sydney of walking three times round this tree when all their wishes would be gratified, and they would be happy. “The tree is about 100 ft. high, and it would appear to have how reached its maximum growth. Qui hg number of candidates have claimed the honour of planting that tree. The late Mr. J. M. Antill stated that his father, Major An till, 73rd Regiment, Aide-de camp to Governor Macquarie, planted i Mr. Charle Fraser, the 2 nee eb? of the Garden, is also credited with this honour. Ned Shakeley, a ae after wards auployed by Mr. J. Baptist in his gardens at Surry Hills, was also stated to have been the planter; and a friend of mine told me that Mr. John Higgerson (the well-known Assistant Ranger of the National Park, who died last year), told him that he ‘had a hand’ in planting this tree. Now, I propose to adjust these claims in the following manner :—Ned Shake ley dug the hole, Johnny Higgerson handed him his spade and helped him generally, Mr. Fraser turned the plant out of the pot to see that it was all right, and Major Antill planted it with due cerem ony. Then Mr. Frase r trod the eart eiphee “The ‘ wishing tree’ is the most historically interesting plant in our beautiful Garden. Considering the rich soil which such pines require in their native Norfolk Island, its detalepksont in such a sterile situation affords a remarkable example of adaptability to environment. I often stand at that spot, contemplate Macquarie, and think of the marvellous changes around me in the Garden in the course of less than a sear ! “The five voyages, which included the gh grant ent of Australia undertaken by Captain P. G. King, R.N., in the twenties, with Allan Cunningham as King’s Botanist, was the means 0 introducing to Sydney many Australian plants iat previously in 25647 B 210 cultivation. The many journeys of exploration undertaken by Allan Cunningham resulted in fine collections of fruits and seeds being brought to Sydney. “During the year 1827 we find quite a crop of notices in the Sydney Gazette concerning the Botanic Gardens. It is announced that a pitcher-plant (Cephalotus) had been discovered at King George’s Sound, and that specimens are in the Botanic Gardens. at t ili hat the gates are to be closed except to the military (September 26). That an olive tree six years was bearing ers; and that cotton grown in the Gardens was sen States, much of it, of course, entirely beyond the sc . @ modern botanic garden. The Sydney Botanic Garden is classic ground. Its area includes, as has already been shown, the site of the first farm, where corn was grown for the infant colony, where fruit trees of all kinds—apples, oranges, olives, vines, bananas— were first acclimatised, where it was hat the cotton and innumerable economic plants could grow in New South Wales, Ww by means of Wardian cases and glasshouses, it was the means of establishing and propagating valuable tropical economic plants for what is Queensland, Northern Australia, and Polynesia ; such plants were chiefly obtained from the islands of the Pacific, Batavia, Calcutta, and London. The methods and objects of the Sydney Botanic Gardens have changed with the necessities of the times, but I say, without fear of successful contradiction, that the institution now more deserves the title of ‘botanic’ than at any other period of its existence. “Not only was the Sydney Botanic Garden engaged in the pro- pagation and exchange of plants, but seeds, cuttings, rooted plants, etc., were extensively supplied in the late twenties to ‘ Brisbane Town.’ Plants so propagated were not only distributed to public institutions, but to such private and official persons as the overnor might see fit to direct. “in the year 1828 (July 11), Fraser was addressed by the Colonial Secretary as the * Superintendent, Botanical Garden.’ They were rather easy-going in those days, and he was officially designated indifferently in addition ‘Colonial Botanist,’ and some- times ‘ Superintendent, Government Garden.’ On one occasion he signs himself ‘H. M. Bot. Collector.’ oe June 8, 1829, the Sydney Gazette contained an official description of the Domain and Botanic Gardens, from which it will 211 be seen how much less in area the Domain is now to what it formerly was. I may mention that in the year 1811, Garden Island was declared to be a portion of the Domain. “In 1829, the Garden was more accurately defined than here- tofore, additions were made io it, and the whole fenced. A plan of the Garden at this period is in existence. “ During 1830 the experiment was tried of employing orphan boys (in care of the State) in the Botanic Gardens, but it was not a success, and the experiment came to an end in three or four years. “In July of this year, Mr. Fraser made the first annual report of which I have any record. The operations were even then of some magnitude, cases of seeds and of living plants being sent to a number of Botanic Gardens in various parts of the world, and also to certain distinguished individuals. Of herbarium specimens the Regius essor of Botany (W. J. Hooker), at Glasgow, was the principal recipient, and he received 1,800. vicinity of this pond and most of them in other parts of the Garden are descendants of Napoleon’s willow. “The laying out undertaken by Fraser refers to the land outside the stone wall which bounded the existing garden (which is now known as the middle garden) and the sandy beach (as it was then) of Farm Cove. This new area, now known as the lower garden, but in 1869-70 the land between tides was reclaimed, and the substantial semicircular stone wall which exists round Farm Cove 8 erected. “Fraser’s alterations, instigated by the Governor, were very considerable, and were in progress in 1 —l. “ A new walk approved by his Excellency was 1,600 yards in length. ‘The above distance will admit a walk through the centre on high ground from its southern to its northern extremity, passing over the carriage road at Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, an entering the bush on the western side of the road. It will see meander through those Roman rocks facing Farm Cove, an command a view of the town, stables, both forts, and in clear weather the Blue Mountains. A private walk will enter the new d and is covered with creeping fig. 25647 B2 212 “On 20th August, 1831, Mr. Fraser informed the Colonial Secretary that ‘the roads in the Gove ernment Domain are now made passable for two carriages.’ Then comes the important official announcement, dated September °, Bef a marks an epoch in regard to the wilieeiion of the Dom “ His Excellency the Governor has cee that it be notified that ‘the grounds in the Government Domain, near Anson Mrs. M recreation of the public ; and that the —— will be opened for carriages on Tuesday next, the 13th inst “The road from the stairs near Fort Musuntio along Farm Cove to the gate which crosses the road at the extremity of the Botanic a is reserved for the exclusive accommodation of persons on - eailie s and horsemen may enter the Domain at the gate near the School of Industry, or a the Woolloomooloo gate at the southern boundary of the Domai “This was the birth of the panak and its use practically as we know it to-day. “The same year, 1831, was memorable from the visit of Mr. James Busby to the wine-growing districts of Europe, to s les.

This tablet is erec and affectionate tribute to his memory by Allan, his only brother. 214 “The few fragments of his remains were collected by Lieutenant Zouch, of the Mounted Police, and buried at Lower Tabratong, near Dandaloo, where a stone marks his last resting place. The grave is on Hunt Brothers’ Burdenda station. the colony was only just beginning to fully expand, and one who appears to have been endowed with 4 singularly agreeable disposition. His scientific reputation has been largely over- Shadowed by that of Allan, his distinguished brother. _It is, are perfectly justified in saying, from what he accomplished, that his early death (followed as it was go soon by that of his brother) was a blow from which botanical investigation in Australia never recovered till Bidwill’s time. During 1836 we find that that portion of the Domain between Macquarie Street North and primarily with a view to raise funds to build a new Government House, as the Imperial Government was not disposed to incur the necessary expense. “In this year a committee was appointed to test Busby’s vines.

He had refused it some years previously, and was at work at Kew on his Australian plants, when the offer was again made to him on his brother’s death. “Two circumstances combined caused him to accept it. One was that he longed to again investigate the Australian flora on the October, 1836 “This is not a sketch of Allan Cunningham’s life, but of the early history of the Botanic Gardens, and I will content myself therefore with briefly touching upon his connection with the gardens. ©. arrived on February 12.1837, and in the Government Gazette of March 1 his appointment as Colonial Botanist and Superintendent of the Botanic Garden was announced. mittee of management, and this was unknown to Allan Cunningham when he accepted the post.

On June 24, 1839, he was removed from his lodging to his old official cottage in the Botanic Gardens for change of scene and air. Heward says: ‘On Thursday, the 27th, his last breath was sighed away in the arms of his faithful friend, James Anderson ’ (his successor in the superintendence of the Garden). He died of consumption, a martyr to geographical exploration and botanical science, in the 48th year of his age. “From this passage it is clear that Cunningham died in the Botanic Gardens. The old cottage, sacred through associations with such a man, was demolished less than 30 years ago. Its site was a little north of the Levy Fountain, and a photograph of it, taken in the Fifties, is still in existence. “Allan Cunningham was buried in the Church of England portion of the Devonshire Street Cemetery, and a marble tablet to his memory was erected in St. Andrew’s Scots Church similar in size to that which he had erected in remembrance of his brother ichard “In 1844, as the incription states, an obelisk to Allan’s memory was erected on the small island in the course of the creek which flows through the garden to Farm Cove. At this time the tide nearly came up to the obelisk, but filling-in operations now leave tne obelisk some distance inland.

Mr. Bidwill had to vacate his appointment on Mr. Moore’s arrival, which he did very unwillingly, and with the good wishes of the Governor, who shortly afterwards appointed him Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Wide Bay district of what is now called Queensland. He died March 1, 1853, in his 38th year, after great suffering, caused by exposure in travelling in his district. His Queensland post afforded him many opportunities of making botanical discoveries, and of introducing new plants, of which he very fully availed himself. He was therefore another of the martyrs to science, whom the hardships of early colonial a tion brought to an untimely end, and was at least the a officer in charge of the Botanic Gardens who succumbed to zea for the public service. “His directorship of the Gardens of little more than three months did not permit him to make his mark on the institution to the extent that he would undoubtedly have done had he continued in office. lay before my readers some account of the development under ie administration of the Sydney Botanic Gardens, an institution 0 which we are entitled to be proud.” J.

Accompanying this was the following extract from the letter which Mr. Naylor had received with the specimens :— “T have obtained a sample of crude rubber from the experimental plant at Buena Vista; this is, of course, not vulcanised, and if kept in a warm place will become soft and sticky. The round piece is just as it comes from the plant; the flat piece is after its second trip through the machine, and in this form is shipped east to the refinery. The full size of the pieces as shipped is 10 to 15 feet long and 18 inches wide.

At the invitation of Mr. Moore, of Glasnevin, and at the desire of the Director of Kew, I spent a fortnight in June in visiting some of the more interesting gardens in Ireland. Mr. Moore was fortunately able to accompany me, and, favoured by their pro- prietors, we inspected the gardens of the following places :— Castlewellan, Kilmacurragh, Mount Usher, Narrow Waiter, St. Anns, ota, Belgrove, Darreen, Rossdohan, Ashbourne, near Queens- town, and several other gardens in the neighbourhood of Dublin. Mr. Moore and myself are fairly well acquainted with the gardens of South Cornwall and South Wales, where the climatic conditions are similar to those of the south and west of Ireland. e were therefore in a position to make comparisons and offer suggestions with regard to what might be tried in Ireland. The things we are in a position to do so are making good use of their gardens and estates by devoting them to what may be termed experimental orticulture. During the whole fortnight (the latter half of June) it rained daily, usually in the morning, the afternoons being hot and sunny. vigour and healthy look of plants of all kinds under these conditions were delightful to behold. It might reasonably be said with regard to Irish gardening that the tools most needed are the 220 Saw, pruning hook, and knife. Generally the plants grow too fast for the gardener, and where plants are set at ordinary distances apart this has its disadvantages. The opinion formed after a fort- night’s rapid visit to Ireland in June may not be worth much, but I have no hesitation in saying that of all the countries I have seen Ins ol, as it is now, the poorest division of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Berckmans first sent plants to Kew in 1894, and in a letter dated February 27, 1894, says: “I take ~se % age na “ » collected a few aes 30 years ago in company with the late r. Asa Gr ray. Our attention iA called to some shrubs which “were growing in a high sandy pine section about 15 miles from “ Augusta and producing vere showy flowers. Very much to our “delight we found these to be the exceedingly rare Hiliottia.” These plants, sent in 1894, however, did not take root, and ulti- mately died. In 1902 two more plants were sent, an these, fortunately, are now well established in the open ground, The eeciee is evidently one not easy to propeente: Several methods were tried by Mr. Berckmans, but e a moderate success was only attained by means of root- perien, Tt i is likely, therefore, to long remain a plant of noes rarity. Kew possesses probably the only plants in Europe Elliottia is a genus Gane to the EHricaceae, of which E. racemosa is now considered to be the sole representative. Two Japanese shrubs, viz. Trcpatateia | bracteata, Maxim.,and 7’, panicu- lata, Sieb. & Zucc., were, by Bentham and Ho oker, placed under Elliottia, but the genus Tripetaleia has pated been restored by Drude.

Johnston, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., on behalf of the Monrovian Rubber Com any. The collections were made in the following locali- ties :—(1) Within a radius of six miles round Monrovia; (2) in the hinterland of Monrovia, within a radius of 20 miles from Kaka Town; (3) in the basin of the Sinoe River. They com- prised over 260 species, of which 67 were found to be new. Sim’s collections consisted chiefly of Apocynaceae, and the novelties have been described in the Addenda to Dyer, Fl. Trop. . vol. iv., sect. 1. Among the plants collected by Whyte were 4 new genera and 58 new species, which have been described in a paper by Dr. O. Stapf, entitled “Contributions to the Flora of Liberia ” (Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot., vol. xxxvii., pp. 79-115) The first instalment, numbering 500 sheets, of an interesting collection from the Amazons region was acquired by purchase om ilian very extensive series of specimens. Other valuable accessions were :—A series of over 500 Indian plants, including 160 Acantbaceae from the Malay Peninsula, presented by the Botanic Gardens, Calcutta ; about 500 Uganda plants, collected by Messrs. M. T. Dawe and E. Brown, and pre- sented by the former; about 450 West Indian plants presented by the New York Botanical Garden ; 300 plants from the Isle of Pines, near Cuba, purchased from the collector, Mr. A. H. Curtiss ;' and 200 sheets of Klaine’s Gaboon specimens, presented by the late M. L. Pierre, who published descriptions and discussed the affinities of many of the novelties in the Bulletin Mensuel de la Societe Linnéenne de Paris. oe Cotoneaster microphylla, MWi/., naturalised in England.—Mr. 8. T. Dunn (Alien Flora of Britain, p. 71) records Cotoneaster microphylla, Wall., as “said to be naturalised on Brean Down, in omerset.” The specimen on which this statement is based is at Kew, and was received in 1892 from Mr. Arthur Smith, with the information that it “is established on Brean Down, Somerset.” d under conditions suggesting actual naturalisation, ; ne came from the chalk downs, near Ventnor, in the Isle of r.

Bhotan, and ranging from 232 4,000-8,000 feet, and in a varietal form (var. glacialis) even up to 14,000 feet. It was first grown in England about 1825 from seeds sent by Dr. Wallich, and has ever since been in cultivation in this country, usually for covering walls.

When the haulm one leaves are dead or nearly so, the fruit of the fungus appears in abundance ; on the leaves it forms minutely velvety blackish. alive penn of variable form and size, whereas on the haulm appear under the form of long thin streaks. The differ rence in aupereial appearance between the br See eee see on the foliage, the ent. sup position is a mistaken one, only one parasite is present; the ifference nee the appearance on the leaves and stem respectively is a matter of mechanics and not of species. On the stem the fruit of the fungus can isd break Maid no to the surface between the parallel rows of vascular bundles, hence the long, narrow streaks; whereas the arrangement of the veins in the leaf admits of the fruit appearing in extended patches. In an acute attack the haulm is stunted from the first, and rarely attains to a length of six inches, the leaves also remain quite small and are much curied. In such cases no new tubers are formed. Sometimes the “sprouts” are killed ancien! in the youngest stage before be Ente above-ground. In such an instance if the “set” is examined a will be found to be quite firm and sieethdte faiealy oh It has already been explained ee that “Jleaf-curl” is September, 1906). When a tuber eae with: mm veelium is leaves ; it 8 the young tube s en a tuber is only slightly infested wit yeelium, it follows the course ienind, a ‘ther ee s to r ing a portion of the potato plant, eee almost entirely on weather conditions, On the other hand when a tuber is badly infested with mycelium it is often Titeeoriiets dead before it is planted. If not quite killed it may produce the dwarfed growth already described. As the fungus mycelium does not destroy the starch, but only the proteid substance, it is practically impossible by any superficial method to determine whether a tuber is killed or not. This can only be Pinbiereaie: by a microscopic examination. Owing to the fact ay the conidia of the fungus are ons case with “potato diserse ” anes by Phi MS ord hea bgp De ui ung shoots have been infected, the d ith myceliu 25934 A2 244 Fr it wi hat infection van the statements made it will be gathered t oflty ike lies through the tuber.

Judged from a morphological age 8 gee the relationship of the fungus causing “leaf-curl” to that of another fungus— nppbacgd lial tomato, Cooke, parasitic on Suet tomatoes, was some years ago indicated as follows: ungus is closely allied to, if not identical with the 19 ASE causing black stripe, or blotch on the tomato” (Teat-book of Plant-diseases, p. 323). Inoculation experiments have proved this supposition to be correct. Conidia produced on a potato plant will infect a tomato and vice versa. The discovery ‘facilitates ganttana’ o the extent of deleting one supposed parasitic entity, and also siden tes the danger of the disease passing from one crop to the other when the two are growing in close proximity. The practical Senne HONS to be derived from the foregoing remarks are as fo Sree Potato tubers e Smid should be obtained from a district free from dis Potatoes should ih ee planted, for a ie of three years, on land that has produced a diseased cro Diseased haulms should be collected and ‘burned or deeply buried.

A specimen at Kew has this character very well marked. SCONE PALACE. The long and intimate connection of Scone with the history of Scotland and of the Scottish kings imparts a charm to the place which ancient associations always give. This charm, however, is not always felt so keenly as it is at Scone where thick woods, fine old trees, and spacious lawns are admirablv in consort with its romantic history. One of the striking things abou Scone, recap of which there are magnificen d » aga are numerous fine examples of Douglas Fir, Silver Fir, and other dosnitore' which give a warm and luxuriant effect. Besides this there is, to Hidrkeoelanviath, the additional ralkhdags minor interest of its being associated with the early years of David Douglas—one of the first and most famous of patasieners He was born at the village of Scone in 1799 and received his first training as a rasp in the Palace gardens.

The Irish Juniper (Juniperus communis var. fastigiata) made acolumn 20 feet high, and a specimen of the common Savin was 19 feet high and covered a space 30 feet in diameter. Near the Palace are some immense specimens of common trees. A Sycamore (Acer Pseudoplatanus) said to have been planted by ary, Queen of Scots, is still alive but somewhat of a wreck ; its trunk, roughly, is about 6 feet in diameter. A gigantic Populus deltoidea, the North American “ Cottonwood,” is 15 feet in girth of trunk.

No true arboriculturist would pass Dunkeld for the first time without making a pilgrimage to the two famous so-called - parent ” Larches standing near the old cathedral. They are the survivors of five trees planted there in 1738 by the then Duke of tholl. It is a matter for regret that one of them is now dying, having, it is believed, been struck by lightning. The dimensions of the other are given on a tablet at its base :—Height, 102 feet ; girth at 3 feet, 17 feet 2 inches; girth at 68 feet, 6 feet 1 inch. Near the house are several other magnificent Larches, scarcely, if at all, inferior to this—one in particular was noticeable for its enormous bulb-like base, 8 feet in diameter. Dunkeld is the original home of the Larch in Britain in more senses than one. It was here that the first plantations on a large scale were ma de, and the names of successive Dukes of Atholl in the 18th century will always be remembered as the pioneers of this branch of forestry. According to Hunter, in his “ Woods, Forests, and Estates of Perthshire,” plantations of 27 millions of Larches were made by the fourth Duke alone—still known as “ The Planter.” As is well known, Dunkeld is situated in a district of singular natural beauty, and the grounds are amongst the loveliest in i is Of numerous well-grown hardy shr latifolia, 9 feet high and 12 feet through, finely in flower, and Viburnum prunifolium, 20 feet high. BLAIR CASTLE. This is another of the seats of the Dukes of Atholl, and, like Dunkeld, is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. The gardens are picturesque, with fine views and very pretty tii and drives, and to the west of the castle there is a magnifice 264 gorge and a waterfall. An avenue of Silver Birch is so delightful that one wonders this tree is not more often used for minor avenues. The kitchen garden, too, is, I think, the most charmingly situated of any I have seen. It covers the opposite slopes of a valley, the bottom of which is filled by a large piece of water with islands in it. The grounds are furnished with many fine trees, but in size these are not equal to others elsewhere mentioned in these notes. There are several Larches here said to have been planted, like those at Dunkeld, in 1738. A most noteworthy tree is a specimen of the distinct and elegant Abies magnifica, 60 feet high, and in perfect health and form.

This latter was ae pened ed and carried out in 1703 re a Yormer proprietor and his gardener yniese ennedy. The original design has been maintained for over 200 years although additions have been made. The beds and masses are in geometrical form— These columnar trees are as good as any of the they are now 80 years old, in excellent health and perfectl 266 furnished. The plants used are Box, Yew, Purple Oak, Fern-leaved Oak, Thuya occidentalis, and the golden and silver varieties of Holly. The effect of the whole is impressive, especially when seen from the castle on its abrupt eminence above. This was, no doubt, the point of view of the original designer, for, like all examples of this type of gardening, it is the view as a whole that constitutes its chief raison détre. Seen in detail, its lack of variety, the absence of light and shade, and its general monotony are apt to weary. But the formal garden, whilst the chief feature at Drummond Castle, is not the only one. The fine yews planted in 1703 are now enormous specimens with trunks 8 to 10 feet in circumference, parts of the country—uprooted tree stumps, decaying prostrate trunks, and bare hillsides. At Drummond a noble Abies pectinata blown down, but the stump, 3 or 4 feet high, still stands where it grew. It shows that the tree was 210 years old and that its trunk was 6 feet 6 inches in diameter ; it contained 1,010 cubic re of timber.

Castle Kennedy is close to Loch Ryan, in Wigtownshire, and a long way to the south-west of Perthshire. The climate, whilst equally moist, is considerably warmer, and a different class of trees and shrubs is growing here. Escallonias, for example, especially H. macrantha, thrive as well as they do in Cornwall, and are evidently held in about the same esteem as Laurels in less voured places. Callistemons were flowering freely, and Huca- lyptus Globulus was 35 feet high. Olearia macrodonta, which I saw so fine at Inverewe, in Ross-shire, was here equally safe I should think Castle Kennedy is one of the best watered inland demesnes in Britain. The gardens are situated chiefly on a neck water besides, From a landscape point of view, one of the remarkable features of the place is the amount of terracing that has been done.

XLV.—MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. C. B. CLARKE.—Mr. Charles Baron Clarke, M.A., F.R.S., eldest son of the late Mr. Turner Poulter Clarke, J.P., of Andover, Hamp- shire, who died on August 25th, 1906, had been for many years intimately associated with the Herbarium at Kew, where he wa employed, as an Indian officer on special duty, from March, 1879, till April, 1883, in assisting Sir Joseph Hooker to prepare the Flora of British India. When he retired from the service of the Government of India, in June, 1887, he settled at Kew in order to be near the Herbarium, in which he has been a volunteer for the past 19 years, associating himself in the most whole- hearted manner with the interests of the establishment and the furtherance of its work. By the members of the staff, whom he of the flora of India generally and his minute acquaintance with certain natural families, particularly the Cyperaceae, with regard to which he was the recognised authority, can never be forgotten. After having been at King’s College School, London, Mr. Clarke i e he was a member of Trinity College and afterwards of Queen’s. When he graduated in 1856 he was bracketed Third Wrangler ; in the following year he was elected a Fellow of Queen’s College. In 1858 he was called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn and appointed Mathematical Lecturer of his college. He was thus occupied till 1865, and in 1866 he left for India to join the Educational Department in Bengal, where he 272 December, 1884, appointed officiating Director of Public Instrue- tion in Bengal. In March, 1885, he was transferred as Inspector of Schools to the province of Assam, where he served till his retirement at the age of 55 in 1887. Mr. Clarke early developed an inclination towards field-botany. While at Cambridge he paid several visits to the north of England, some to Scotland and to Switzerland, and one, in 1862, to Madeira. During most of these excursions,’ as his private thoroughly through the Indian Urticaceae. It may serve 4 useful purpose if a brief epitome of Mr. Clarke’s various Indian _Mr. Clarke was at first appointed to the Eastern Bengal School division, where the only practical mode of conveyance is by boat. During the wanderings of two and a_ half years he made extensive collections, which reached more than 7,000 numbers. 8 time he appears to have paid particular attention to the a Owing to the wreck of his boat.

In August, 1869, he pana hie first visit to : gaged on his work at the Cinchona much collecting. In October, however; pid march from Darjeeling to the Yakla, On reverting to his w : ork as Inspect find that in eapeeyeer, 1871, Mr. Clarke was botanising te Uowilia, his field collecting Kj Reel rn 14,000; in February, 1872, he was 1sai and the Eastern Sundribuns; in April he was 273 botanising in the Dacea district, and in December was investi- gating the vegetation of Cachar. In February, 1873, he paid a botanical visit to Chittagong; Calcutta now became his head- quarters, and in 1874 we find that he paid his first visit to Chutia Nagpur, and that he spent six weeks in the Punjab Himalaya, mainly at Dalhousie, whence he was able to make excursions at least one of which was to an elevation of 10,000 feet. On his return to Calcutta he paid a visit to the Western Sundribuns. In 1875 he was transferred to the Northern Division, with his head- quarters at Darjeeling, but before leaving Calcutta we find that he made a special study of the genus Leea. From Darjeeling he made a botanical excursion along the Nepal frontier to Tonglo, and as he had already been at the Chola to the east, in October, 1875, he visited Jongri, going by way of Pemionchi and Yoksun, returning by Singalelah. Immediately on his return from Jongri he paid a brief visit to British Bhutan east of the River Tista. The next three months, from November, 1875, to February, 1876, were spent touring in the plains of North Bengal. By this time passes this journey, an offici : regards high elevations; rather lower down he was able to give arranged to devote them to an examination of the flora of Kashmir. He entered that country by the ordinary high level road from Bhimpur to Srinagar, then went north by the Woolar Lake, straight across the Devil’s plain to Iskardo. Crossing the occasions reaching the highest limits of phanerogamic vegetation. Clarke passed near Dras into tie Tilail valley, then crossed at right angles in succession the valleys of the Sind, Liddar, Jhelum, an and Ravi rivers t Amritsar. uring the whole of this journey Mr, Clarke was, almost for the first time in his life, more or less unwell. After was on June 9th, 1877. He made over the whole of his collections to the Herbarium at Kew.

His transfer to Assam in 1885, where as Inspecior of Schools his headquarters were un Eastern Naga Hills at an elevation of 3,000 feet, by a route parallel to Griffith’s Namrup route. In August he was able to botanical visit to Cherrapungi, and on the last day of the month he set out for the Angami Naga country. His route lay through he Nam i hima he was t AE to ascend Japvo, the highest peak, 9,890 feet elevation, of the Bareil - Thence he went to Manipur, an independent State Burma, returning to Shillong by way of to make several subsequent collecting journeys before he finally left Assam and India in 1887. The Boteetions accumulated during the Second portion of his Indian service were presented to Kew after his return to England. Tt will be seen therefore, that during his service in the East Mr, Clarke was able to obtain a personal knowledge of the Seale hat of Wait Comparable in extent with that acquired « On or Wallich or H nO} - attaine by Grit, Coker and second only to that atta Mr. Clarke was an admirable ec) i i - : #€ collector; his specimens a rarely incomplete and are always carefully selected and pre- pared, ey ey are accompanied by — Siven on the actual field-ticket, sometimes accompanied by rough analyses made at the time of collecting, Every gathering 275 ho made. Throughout his life he paid little attention to trees; as a collector of herbaceous plants and of shrubs he has perhaps never been surpassed. Prior to and during the period of his deputation in England Mr. Clarke published a number of papers on botanical subjects in the Journal of the Linnean Society and the Journal of Botany, almost exclusively relating to Indian plants. Here, however, our chief interest centres in what he prepared at and on behalf of Kew, — the time he was on ener in England (1877-79), and ing the subsequent peri s deputation (1879-83), he Saicnias the following natural Rujallicg for the Flora of British India :—In vol. ii.: Saaifragaceae, Crassulaceae, acede, Hamamelideae, Halorageae, Combretaceae, aac of Myrtaceae, 57 reepe ass Lythraceae, Onagraceae, mydaceae, bitaceae, Begoniaceae, Datisceae, Cacieue, Rioviden, Umielliforae Araliaceae and Cornaceae.

As consequence his monograph, which unfortunately has not tre been published, received additions up to the on of his death. His devotion to this family even after his retirement, when, at the request of Sir J. D. Hooker and Sir W. T. Breil Dade he for the Flora of “Lropi cal Afric ea—pubised 1901-2; and for the Index Florae BiiaeleLpub lis hed 1903-4, was by no means exclusive; he found time to prepare accounts of the natural for and the Chenopodiaceae. For the Flora of the Malayan Peninsula he elaborated the Gentianaceae and the A canthaceae, the latter not yet issued. He had also practically completed a caren of Lowe’s Flora of Madeira; he was engaged when overtaken by his fatal illness in collecting materials for an Sune iba memoir of the late Rev. R. T.

Descriptions of over thirty of the more obvious novelties contained in Wiison’s two collections have already appeared (Kew Bull., 1906, pp. 147-163). — A valuable set of about 1,200 plants from Chumbi and Tibet was presented by the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta. Many of Ww i collectors working under the supervision of Sir George King, late Superintendent of the Calcutta Garden. One of these collectors, named Dungboo, was able to penetrate as far as Lhasa and to bring back a small but interesting collection made en route to that city. Another very interesting collection, though of small extent and composed of rather fragmentary specimens, was made at the instigation of Sir Alfred Croft, late Director of Public Instruction, Bengal, by the Lama Ujyen Gyatsko, who went by way of Chumbi and Phari to Shigatze, returning to British Sikkim by way of Nepal. The rest of the collection was obtained during the course of the negotiations of the recent Tibet Mission. While this mis- humbi, Mr. C.

The beautiful photographic reproductions of unique or rare specimens form a noteworthy feature of the series. Discovery of Goodyera repens in Norfolk—The Rev. Guy Halli- ay, of Bowhill, Bradninch, Devon, recently sent to Kew a specimen of an orchid which he had collected near Holt, in North Norfolk, requesting its name. It proved to be Goodyera repens, and, in response to our request, he communicated the following but unsuccessfully. Subsequent examination convinced him that it was not a Spiranthes ; he thought it must be Goodyera, and to make sure he sent it to Kew. Until 1885 there was no convincing record of an English station for this plant, but in Baker’s Flora of the Lake District it is recorded, on the authority of Dr. F. A. Lees, from a fir plantation between Penrith and Carlisle. In 1888, Mr. J. J. Marshall (Journ. Bot., p. 379) recorded the discovery of several plants in Houghton Wood, near Market Weighton, 8.E. Yorkshire. Now comes this one from Holt. The question arises, how did the Goodyera reach these modern pine-woods ? This suggests another question, were the young pines brought from the forests of Scot- seeds or roots of the Goodyera with them? Possibly seed may have been conveyed by birds, or intentionally sown by man. Whatever the history may be, it is almost certain that the Goodyera did not exist in these southern localities before the _ pines were planted. A similar isolated locality for this plant was out to Mr. Bean by Mr. Maurice de Vilmorin, at Les es. 294 piety 48 era repens is one of the most widely distributed of orchids, rring all round the northern hemisphere. The specimen from Norfolk has Sos deposited in the Kew Herbarium on indefinite loan. W, B.

He drew attention to it in a short note published in 1684,t but probably written earlier under the influence of De Jager’s letter quoted above. In this note he speaks of the grass as ‘ Schoen- anthum Amboinicum, me gives i in an accompanying plate an excellent figure of the ‘root’ as he calls it, that is the heads of the branches of the shinee with the base of the leaf-tuft spring- ing from them, evidently just in the condition red tee use. mparing it with the Arabian ‘ Schoenanthum, he emarks : floret. : odoratae sunt et acres.” Then there followed, written before 1695, in the fifth volume of his Herbarium Amboinense, that long ees ” : : themselves only to the clear ate open mind of a ues and un- biassed eeery ver and sincere lover of nature such as Rumphius was.

The cha peerid is accom vented by a figure, a ee bd plan bt ca taken from a garden, one-fourth natura size, and as faithful as can be. The fragment of an inflorescence which is added is less satisfactory, pecs it was drawn—as is almost certain—from a diseased or anomalous panicle. I quote the essential part of Rumphius’ dedtik phon, translating from the Dutch text :— “The Siree of Amboina is no doubt a Schoenanthum.: From the Sribian Schoenanthum it differs in that it emits fewer stems and is sterile, or at least produces flowers enly very rarely ; nor is it 80 aromatic.

Statements to that effect have occasionally been made; but they have arisen from the confusion of the cultivated Sereh with other similar and truly wild men; Hackel, who has, considers it as very closely approaching his ‘Andropogon ceriferum’ (also a synonym of lemon-grass) ; but the sample was too incomplete for accurate determination.

When, soon after the publication of the first edition i b of the ‘Species Plantarum,’ the first copy of Rumphius’ ‘ Herbarium i hed $8 Amboini- species, so that they might be added as synonyms. The result was a dissertation by Stickman under the title ‘ Herbarium Amboinense,’ originally published in May, 1754, but reprinted in an augmented form in ‘Amoenitates Academicae’ (vol. iv., pp. 112-143) in 1759. In this dissertation (p. 19 of the original, p. 130 of the reprint) we find Rumphius’ ‘Schoenanthum Amboinicum’ for the first time identified with Andropogon Schoenanthus, L.

The only Mauritius grass, which may very well have been in cultivation there at the beginning of the [ast century, although it is not actually mentioned as coming from there before 1837, Thus De Candolle namely, Mauritius. However this may be, the plant remained in cultivation for some time. Tt is mentioned in the Turin catalogue of 1821, the Berlin catalogues of 1821 and 1827, the catalogue of the Jardin des Plantes of 1829, etc. ; but it does not seem to have flawered anywhere, until in 1833 it did at last flower at Berlin and in 1835 at Breslau. Link,t who records the flowering at Berlin, identified it with Ventenat’s figure of ‘Andropogon Schoenanthus’ C= repogon pruinosus, Nees) and reduced it accordingly to Andropogon Schoenanthus, L. Nees,t who was then Director of m Andropogon citratus, He, however, also gave a description of the Plant, as 1t grew at Breslau, and this at once excludes the identity of his and Ventenat’s plants, the latter of which he evidently knew only from the figure.

In the absence of the originals, no absolute proof is possible that Nees’s Andropogon citratus was the lemon-grass; but so far as circumstantial evidence is admissible, it appears quite reasonable to assume their identity until proof to the contrary is forthcoming, and consequently to adopt his name. If the occurrence of awns was actually general in the Breslau plant, it might have been a case of reversion to the ancestral form, which no doubt was awned, In corroboration of my view of the identity of Nees’s ‘ Andropogon citratus,’ | may add, that Nees’s brother, Theodor Friedrich, has also given a description of ‘Andropogon citratus’ in ‘Geiger’s Pharmaceutische Botanik,’ 2nd ed., vol. i., p. 147. This description is shorter, but in some respects is more precise and is thus Supplementary to that in the ‘Allgemeine Gartenzeitung’; he unhesitatingly identifies it with Fleming’s ‘lemon-grass.’ Further, there is in the Turin herbarium a specimen of lemon-grass, collected by Bertero in Jamaica and received in 1821 by Balbis, who himself named it Andropogon citratus. As Balbis had been growing * Andropogon citratus, DC.’ since 1812 or even before that date, his determination may certainly be accepted as another proof of the identity of ‘lemon-grass’ and ‘ Andropogon citratus.’ but he forgot what he had done, Second time, on , as ‘Andropogon Roxburghii, Nees (MSS.), this time quoting Andropogon Schoenanthus, Roxb. as a on Roxburghii, Nees, is the name used on hym.

From what I have said, it is, however, perfectly clear that the Rusd-grass is actually identical with Andropogon Martini of Roxburgh, and has ve stand as such, or, if transferred, to Cymbopogon, as C. Mart REA AND VARIATION.—The area of C. Martini extends in India from the Rajmahal Hills on the bend of the Ganges to the Afghan frontier, and from the subtropical zone of the Himalaya to about 12° N., leaving out the desert and steppe region of the Panjab, the outer slopes of the Western Ghats, and, as would appear, a great portion of the Northern Carnatic. From the collectors’ and writers’ notes it appears to be locally very common, and a con- Spicuous feature, particularly in the late autumn when the panicles change colour and i impart their rizh brown-red tints to the hill sides.

Those transition forms are, however, so fa: can see, confined to the border districts where the two grasses meet, elsewhere they are sufficiently distinct. : EARLY HISToRy.—The oldest Specimens of the Carnatic grass on record are a specimen in the Plukenet herbarium at the British Museum and several in the Du Bois herbarium at Oxford, all of them collected near Madras at the end of the 17th or in the passage in a letter by Herbert de Jager* to Rumphius, dated 6th July, 1683, also refers to it. Contesting the view of Bontius and others that the ‘Sereh’ of the Malays is identical with Coromandel, where I have traversed whole fields of that grass, of the sweet scent it imparts to the water; though the odour Srane, of which there were whole fields to traverse, was the Kamiatci-pillu of the Tamils. Of this name we hear for the first time in ‘Samuel Browne’s Seventh Book of East Indian Plants,’ form the subject of the paper were collected “between the and 20th June, A.D. 1696. in the ways between Fort St. George and Trippetee, which is about 70 miles off.” One of them was Browne says : “This is Schoenanth, € not in great Esteem ; sometimesin the .

That type is an exact counterpart of certain specimens in the herbarium of Ch. Du Bois, who had received them from Madras , partly from his tone Daniel and partly from Dr. Bulkley, the latter having put them down as ‘Cau ea ee pille,’ 7 ae ‘ Kamatti pillu.’ Petiver also enumerated the same grass, a specimen in the Du Bois Herbarium proves, as “ Schoenanthus Madraspa tanus panicula minore, a villosis geminis” in his ‘ Museum,’ No, 57 (1695), and communicated a sample of it to Scheuchzer, who in hi - Agrostographia,’ p. “4 pcg. gave a more detailed account of it under Petiver’s phras CONFUSION WITH ‘ ANDROPOGON’ SCHOENANTHUS, Petiver, in his commentary on Samuel Browne’s plants, made the Papa of identifying the Kamateci pillu with the ‘ Schoenanthum’ of the herbalists, es even upbraided Plukenet for figuring this plant twice ov his first figure is much truer than the last,” although it. is ‘quite ‘clear that the ‘ first figure ’ (Almag. tab. 119, fig. 2) represents the Kamatci pillu, whilst the other (1. e. tab.

To show ow confused the taxonomy are three sheets in his herbarium un ar the name. Sheet 1 contains a panicle and eee of the true ‘ Lemon-grass’ or Sereh, a young panicle with some of the upper leaves of the officinal ‘ Schoen- anthum’ (Camel's - hay) and a small inflorescence of C. coloratus.

It was named by Nees ‘ Andropogon caesius, B.’ Unfortunately, Nos. 1700, 1700e, and 1700d were also distributed under that name. No. 1700 was ] mere accident, as it is evident from the original specimen in Wight’s own herbarium that Nees really meant to apply the name Andropogon caesius to No. 1700a, which is the same as . 7 i indiscriminately. To make matters worse, Nees refe this composite species Specimens collected by Millett and Vachell Macao, s. 17000, nor with 1700c, but represent what is generally accepted as Andropogon hamatulus or Andropogon Nardus var. hamatulus. Nor was this all. In 1843, Nees revised his determinations of . those grasses in Meyen’s ‘ Beitrige zur Botanik’ (p. 190), and re- duced Andropogon caesius to Andropogon Martini, quoting Wight, No. 1700 and No. 1806 (the latter = Kamatti), under Andropogon Martini; Nos. 1700a and 1700b (both = Kamatti) under Andro- pogon Martini, a and B respectively ; and No. 1700c (C. coloratus) under Andropogon Martini, y. He further referred Millett’s and Vachell’s Chinese specimens to the latter,of which at least Vachell’s— have not seen the other—ig Andropogon hamatulus, and he cited also Roxburgh’s unpublished drawing, No. 1095, which evidently represents C. coloratus. The Kamatti grass therefore remains connected wit Andropogon caesius, or rather Cymbopogon caesius, In so far as the vars. a and £8, and Wight’s specimens Nos. 1700a and 17000, are concerned. As the name ‘caesius’ was no doubt originally chosen with regard to the glaucous appearance of the matci grass, and in so far ig quite appropriate, it may, with the necessary restrictions, be retained for that particular grass. a : — ted ‘to grow in great abundance.

In July of the present year, Kew received from the Editor of ‘Il Giardinaggio’ (an Italian horticultural journal, published in Turin) leaves, fruit and. seeds of a Sout merican tree, asking whether it was known to science. This material was supple- mented by a paragraph from ‘Il Giardinaggio’ of which the following is a translation :— “Mr. E. Frosio, a horticulturist of Paysandu, Uruguay, in a private letter received by the ‘ I] Giardinaggio,’ sends the following interesting note, which we think our readers will like to see delicate that it is equalled in no other fruit. see large hazel-nut, but the edible fleshy part of the fruit is small; it as, however, an extremely agreeable taste and possesses such a remarkable digestive property that when the aborigines have over- indulged, they eat of this before lying down at night and then they sleep ‘like a child * and wake up the next morning with a clear head and a wonderful appetite.’ ” The leaves of this plant agree exactly with those cf a specimen ; i .G.

This 367 is rendered evident by the following notes. Two packets of about 20 species each were sent during 1905 from Wonsen, and, with the exception of two species, none of the plants in the two packets there is a considerable variety in species a that before an adequate idea of the marine vegetation of the ¢ ountry as a whole n be formed, a much larger supply of material is necessary, not Sits race various localities, but collected at different seasons of the year. In some cases the material sent was insufficient for identiti- cation, and in not a few instances the generic names only could be iven. The omission of these from the list, and also of certain critical species, will account for the number of names being somewhat smaller than might be expected. The algae received from Corea resemble, as one would expect, those of Japan—the only eastern country of which the marine flora is well known. Besides including some of the most intresting Japanese species, the packets sent contained several plants whi ch have not hitherto been recorded from Japan, and others which are entirely new. The recording of several critical oe of which no authentic specimens exist in this country, and as to which further informa- tion is desirable, is for the present postponed. Codium mucronatum, J.

Two others—a species and a variety—-have, however, been recently added to this interesting group of trees ; they are agus obliqua and F, antarctica var. wliginosa. Kew owes their acquisition to Mr. H. J. Elwes, who presented seeds in March, 1902, which he had collected during his travels in Chili and or to a temperature lower than 19° Fahr. Still, there is little doubt but that they will be perfectly at home in the southern and F, betuloides is the best known of these South American Beeches in this country, and one of the finest specimens of it in cultivation is in the garden at Pencarrow, Cornwall. This tree is” ornamental of hardy trees. It is now being tried in the open at ew, but Woking igs the nearest locality to London where it is ; ; Specimen in Mr. B. RK. The species is very abundantly represented in Tierra del Fuego, some of the largest trees having trunks from 4 to 7 ft. in diameter. F. Dombeyi.—This is an evergreen species bearing some resemblance to F. betuloides in foliage. Its leaves are ovate- lanceolate, of hard texture, serrate, and } to in. long. There is, owever, a form a Rak in the Kew Herbarium with leaves o far ies j i + Of which good specimens are in the Herbarium, I was told by Mr, Barton, who was felling this tree : seek, that the timber was too ~ . © seeds mentioned by Mr. Elwes do no pod Sie = have been received at Kew or, if so, they did not 381 F. antaretica is a deciduous-leaved species which grows inter- mingled with F. betuloides in the forests of Tierra del Fuego and extends far to the north into Chili. It is exceedingly rare in cultivation. Its foliage is variable in character, especially in the marginal cutting of the leaf-blade. In the var. bicrenata of De Candolle the leaves are mostly bicrenate, but in the var. uliginosa, now introduced by Mr. Elwes, they are multicrenate. Mr. Elwes has kindly supplied the following remarks about the latter :—“ Fagus antarctica var. uliginosa is a smaller tree than F’, Dombeyi, and is called ‘Mere’ in Chili. It occurs at higher elevations and forms a dense scrub on the Argentine side of the frontier, extending near the Baths of Chillan up to 7,000 ft., or ore summits up to 5,000-6,000 ft.,and when I passed at the end of February the leaves had turned a brilliant red. It is affected by the same parasite that grows’on I’. Dombeyi, namely, Myzodendron linearifolium. The seeds which I brought home came from Lake Meliquina. At the Baths of Chillan I also found the bicrenate variety of this tree.” On the young trees at Kew raised from Mr. Elwes’ seeds the leaves are § to 1} ins. long, cordate with an oblique base, irregularly and minutely crenate, and with the petioles so short that the basal lobes of the leaf often project beyond the stem. The slender unbranched shoots (this year 3 ft. long) clothed with these small, regularly alternate, closely set leaves, give to the trees a most distinct appearance. F. obliqua.—Although this species is said to have been intro- duced previously, we are not aware of any trees growing in this country other than those raised in 1902 from Mr. Elwes’ seeds. The largest of the trees at Kew are now 9 ft. high and the growths of the past summer 23 to 3 ft. long. Provided it proves hardy, it will evidently be a rapid-growing tree. Writing of this species Mr. Elwes says :—‘ This fine tree seemed to be confined to the lower levels in the territory south of the Bio-bio River, where it forms a large part of the forest and is cut for timber which is largely exported from Valdivia and Concepcion under the name of ‘Roblé.’ Some of this timber mo ho 0 shipped to of it.

There are many kinds of this drug furnished by different species of Astragalus, and possibly of allied genera—plants of a herbaceous character with a thickened woody root-stock, which is the part valu Chinese books acknowledge the existence of three or four kinds of the drug and one kind is figured in Chih-wu-ming, vii. 3.

CHURCHILL.—The death, in his eighty-fifth year, of G. ©. Churchill, which occurred at Clifton on 11 October, 1906, has iegaived Kew of an old and tried friend.* George — Churchill was born at Nottingham, where his gees a manufacturer, on 25 September, 1822. The ) been ne resident in Nottingham; it migrated there from brother Charles, a Parliamentary General, married the eldest daughter of Oliver Cromwell. Churchill's mother was a daughter of George Cheetham of Stalybridge, whose nephew of the same name now represents that borough. Churchill’s father was drowned in the wreck of the Forfarshire off the Farne Telands in 1838, leaving his son, at the age of 16, to make his way i othe orld. Shortly after his father’s death, Churchill, who bait been edunated at private schools in Nottingham, was articled toa local firm of solicitors, one of whose partners then acted as Town Clerk of Nottingham. At the close of his articled term, Churchill continued his legal training in the office o solicitor in London Even a boy ‘Churehill appears to have been inclined to saienitiic 4 pursuits. As a youth he was keenly interested in entomology, made a SoRTISABIS collection of butterflies, moths, and beetles, and was able to extend the known range of more than one species. Shortly after the completion of his legal training he carried on by Mr. (a evens Sin) J. Paes and Dr, (afterwards Sir) J. H. Gilbert ; an artist brother of the latter, ae J ier Gilbert, became one of his most i ntimate friends. this period ok ao may be dated the interest “that Grok took in In 1853 Churchill married Anna Maitland, daughter of the Rev..

Laurie, of Camberwell, a lady of artistic and musical talent, in ears an excellent lawyer, he did not reall i » b : y care for the work, and it — a relief to him when in 1863 his increased income Christener of Bern and amas n the Mole in Savoy. but I should very much like to see the specimens. I don’t think 390. either Kew or British Museum has any. When I was on the Albula in 1877 I came upon the hybrids between G. lutea and G. punctata, and I could only find two forms ; the one nearer to phylla, and found them numerous and gathered many specimens, and I do ink I eve und more than one form of hybr between each species. I to lie down the grass amo case of ‘Uebergangsformen.’ I may say the same of Pedicularis, Primula, Achillea, Campanula, Sazxifraga. One usually finds to me that Huxley rushed too quickly to his conclusions.” In a later letter, January 31, 1891, Churchill wrote :—“ag regards the statement . . . . that horticultural experience does not hose showing ‘ Uebergansformen’ is, I think, very small. It seems and therefore the new results are fewer. If you refer to all the best floras of Europe i think you will find that ‘ Uebergangs- team "are exceedingly few. So far as I have examined it is nee across such. Prof, Bruegger of Chur is about the greatest and some o descriptions. If he had ever come across cases of a series, of sa to the present day, and I have never heard of such from them. My present conclusion is that the recognised species have long en in a condition of perfect equilibrinm with their environment, only disturbed by insect action to a limited extent; but when you sin to cultivate them new forces are get in action and produce no end of changes.” His last word on the subject, March 11, 1891, 391 ‘ s term would apply of course both to natural hybrids and to seedling varieties. 1 have taken note more of the former of these. But the writers of the floras of different parts of the Alps agree with me rather, if their silence means anything. They never refer to the existence of numerous hybrid forms between two species, with the few exceptions gave in a former letter. There is a complete ‘conspiracy of silence’ amongst them. When Kerner wrote on ‘ Primel-Bastarte’ in 1875, would he not have carefully noted the existence of ‘any number of in- termediates ’ if he or his botanical friends had ever come across them ? In idea three primary Bastarte and six secondary are possible, and yet Kerner says that these secondary Bastarte, as also the triple Bastarte, are ‘extremely rare’; and among Primu he only knows of P. biflora and P. Huteri, thus ignoring alto- cowslip and primrose. Between these two last he describes but two: P. brevistyla, DC. (sub-acaulis x officinalis) and el- licaulis, Kerner (super-acaulis x officinalis). Under the former head he refers to the difference in size=one-third of all the parts centre of France. Now if Boreau had observed more than these ‘two, would he not have described them? In Focke’s ‘ Misch- linge,’ p. 246, however, he quotes Loret as saying that at Pau he found ‘ four Uebergangsformen ’ between acaulis and elatior ! in but I shou rare phenomenon. Can Baker give me the three primary and _ secondary intermediates between cowslip and primrose = they all in the Herbarium? When I have seen these I shall be more credulous of the existence of a possible tenth ee RIL Fe There is plenty more to say ; but my eyes and wrist are tired. These extracts from Churchill’s letters may serve to show how Alps, and the information he was able to discussion. has already been alluded to. He had not mastered but during the year of his residence at Mentone 392 singing in chorus with friends, and, after settling at Clifton, he took a great interest in the Bristol Musical Festivals. In oratorio music and orchestral concerts he found a particular pleasure. A marked idiosyncracy was his constitutional dislike for tobacco, one effect of which was that he was never able to join the Bristol and Clifton Scientific Club which meets monthly to dine, and, after dinner, to read or to hear papers read, and to discuss them “in a cloud of smoke.” Burbidge was born at Wymeswold, Leicestershire, on March 21, 1847 ; his father being a farmer and fruit grower. After spending y y developed considerable skill in wielding both pen and pencil, and part of his time at Kew was devoted to drawing plants for the well received. Among these was his illustrated History, &c. o Narcissus, to which Mr. J. G. Baker contributed a descriptive 7 oO log ’ -_ dq om B i) ot ° =} —_ eS collected seeds and living plants, but he also dried a large number, and through the liberality of Messrs. Veitch, Kew received the first set amounting, with some given by Burbidge himself, to nearly a thousand species. Many species bear his name, and Sir Joseph Hooker named Burbidgea nitida (Botanical Magazine, 1879, . Burbid i i Dublin, a post which he held till hig death. He received a number of horticultural distinctions, including the Victoria Medal of Honour and the Veitch Memorial Medal, and in 1889 the Dublin University conferred on him, honoris causa, the degree of Master of - 4+1€ was also a member of the Royal Irish Academy. Throughout his career Burbidge was always faithful to Kew, and 393 being very fond of the early works in botany and gardening he often did her a service by presenting a book, or putting her in the way of procuring it. Among his gifts was a fine copy of the rare “Prodromi Fasciculi Rariorum Plantarum, &e.,” of J. Breyn, 1739, containing the book-plate of a former owner, Robert James, Lord “Botanical Magazine,’ which bear many announcements and advertisements of great historical interest, Burbidge not only collected old books, but he read them, and was full of information, which he imparted to others in such a pleasant modest way that one was never tired of listening; and he had none but friends, because he rarely uttered a disparaging word of another. W, By dd O. T. HeMsLEY.—In the Annual Report on the Government Agri-Horticultural Gardens, Lahore, for the financial year 1905-6, the President, addressing the Government of the Panjab, wrote :— “The gardens have sustained a great loss in the sad and untimely death of Mr. Hemsley, the late Superintendent, who suecum on January 6th, after a short illness, to a malignant attack of mall-pox. His energy and devotion to his duties have been acknowledged in previous reports. His work in 1905 was again deserving of all praise.” In reviewing this report the Chief Secretary to the Government of the Panjab wrote :—“The Lieutenant-Governor takes the opportunity of recording his regret at the death of Mr. Hemsley, to whose labours the improvement of the gardens has been so largely due.” Oliver Tietjens Hemsley, the only son of Mr. W. B. Hemsley, F.R.S., Keeper of the Herbarium at Kew, was born at Richmond, Surrey, on February 6, 1876, so that at the time of his death he had not yet entered his thirtieth year. He was educated at Dr. White’s School, Turnham Green, and at King’s College School, London. In 1893, when 17 years of age, he entered the Royal Gardens. In the Garden Lectures he took a distinguished place. Conditions than was possible in the comparatively te sage chicas at which cinchona is grown, and so to qualify for subsequent promotion.

The executive gardening duties pirate with the Bengal section of the camp were entrusted to Hemsley. These he took up with enthusiasm, and—in spite of a and of the late Mr. Gollan, Superintendent of the Saharanpur Botanic Garden, who was in administrative charge of the gardening operations generally. - As events transpired, young Hemsley did not return to Bengal. The impending retirement of Mr. H. G. Hein, the ounced, colleague and ecoesso. The quality of Hemsley’s work at Delhi under circumstances of unusual difficulty augured well for his success at La rats nor was the anticipation belied. His work was spoken of in high terms in successive annual neportind the last melancholy reference being that with which this note Hemsley’s was a bright and kindly disposition. ie eon poled and warm-hearted, he made many friends. He was a keen volunteer ; while an Assistant on the Cinchona Plantation he was an enthusiastic member of the Northern Bengal Mounted Volan- teers; at Lahore he was an equally enthusiastic member of. the Panjab Light Horse. This co rps paid a worthy tribute to a devoted volunteer at his funeral, which was a military one, all the officers of the corps being present, as were oficahs representing the Staff of the Lieutenant-Governor and the Ist Panjab Volunteer Rifles.

BULLETIN OF MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION, - APPENDIX III—1906. NEW GARDEN PLANTS OF THE YEAR 1905. The number of garden plants annually described in botanical and horticultural publications, both English and foreign, is now So considerable that it has been thought desirable to publish a complete list of them in the Kew Bulletin each year. The following list comprises all the new introductions recorded during 905. These lists are indispensable to the maintenance of a correct nomenclature, especially in the smaller botanical estab- lishments in correspondence wit ew, which are, as a rule, only scantily provided with horticultural periodicals. Such a list will also afford information respecting new plants under cultivation at this establishment, many of which will be distri- buted from it in the regular course of exchange with other botanic gardens, The present list includes not only plants brought into cultivation for the first time durin but the most noteworthy of those which have been re-introduced after being lost from cultivation. Other plants included in the list may have been in gardens for Several years, but either were not described or their names had not been authenticated until recently. In addition to species and well-marked varieties, hybrids, whether introduced or of garden origin, have been included Where they have been described with formal botanical names. Mere cultural forms of well-known garden plants are omiited, for obvious reasons, In every case the plant is cited under its published name, although some of the names are doubtfully correct. Where, however, a correction has appeared desirable, this is made. The name of the person in whose collection the plant was first noticed or described is given where known. 1375 Wt89 3/06 D&S 29 23873 A 60 An asterisk is prefixed to all those plants of which examples are in cultivation at Kew.
