Index of British Plaints. By Robert Turnbull. (G. Bell and

Sons.)—This is done on the basis of the "London Catalogue," there being three side-columns, referring respectively to the number in the "London Catalogue," the figures in Sowerby's "English Botany," and the illustrations to Bentham's "British Flora." Attention is also paid to synonyms. A list of English and Latin names concludes a very handy and concentrated guide to British flora.
