PLANTS NEW TO HINÜ's "FLORA."
SPECIES OF PLANTS NEW TO HIND'S "FLORA." BY RONALD BURN, B.A.
THE genera, species, varieties, micro-species and forms of plants here enumerated, of which I have roughly mounted specimens, result from some two years' botanizing. Much more could be added by experts and wider-spread work, since scarcely a week elapsed without either contributing some name here listed, or adding to one or other of Hind's Districts the habitat of a species or variety hitherto presumed to be there lacking. But the Editor suggests that I should compile a list " as afirststep towards up-to-dating Hind " : this, therefore, is but a partial and fumbling step—pas qui coute. I must add that the names used accord with the " Vienna Actes " of binomial nomenclature and follow the law of priority established by the Paris Congress (see Druce's preface to Hayward's Botanist's Pocket Book) ; therefore they necessarily differ from those in the 7th and 8th editions of Babington, that were implicitly followed by Hind : some Standard was essential, and Groves and Wilmott in Babington's 9th and lOth editions have innovated on Hind without getting much nearer Druce or Hooker or Sowerby, etc. But Druce does follow a definite system, presumably one more standardized because promulged by an oecumenical council, so I add in difficult cases Hind's synonyms to Druce's names. The style and order of species are those of Hind. RANUNCULACE^E.
