Short Notes.
Note on Pavonia.—Dr. Garcke, in the current number of Engler's Botanische Jahrbuch (Feb. 11), has an interesting paper, "Ueber einige Malvacengattungen," in which he makes remarks on the four genera of the family—Sida, Anoda, Pavonia, and Hibiscus. His notes on certain obscure species of Sida are particularly worthy of notice, and will be a great help in any future work on the subject. On certain points I can hardly accept Dr. Garcke's conclusions, and in Pavonia he seems scarcely to have exhausted the literature of the subject. Speaking of this genus (l. c. 392), he criticises the number of species enumerated in the Kew Index, and says that eight described since must be added to these. He seems to take no note of P. calyculina Frapp., P. fraterna Cordem. (both from Bourbon), P. Schwackei Gürke (from Brazil), P. melanommata Rob. & Seaf. (from Mexico), P. opulifolia and P. Morongii S. Moore (both from South America). There is possibly some good reason for these omissions, but it is desirable that this should be made clear.—E. G. Baker.
WILTS RECORDS, 1895. The principal additions have been made by the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, who has also in part recast our existing list of Rubi. All the plants are new for S. Wilts, the additions to the county flora being marked (W.). I have had the usual kind help of specialists in verifying the critical plants :- Isatis tinctoria L. (W.) 5. Farley, Henderson. Stellaria umbrosa Opiz. 9. Dinton; glabrous and hairy forms together (v. Journ. Bot. 1889, 52). Rubus plicatus W. & N. (W.) 9. Wardour, Rogers. R. erythrinus Genev. (W.) 1.
