Index Kewensis Plantarum Phanerogamarum

Abstract

THERE is always a welcome for a new supplement of the “Index Kewensis”, which supplies the botanist with a list of the names of genera and species published during a five-year period, and thanks are due to Miss Green and Dr. Sprague of the Kew Herbarium for the skilled and careful labour involved in its compilation. A useful innovation in this eighth supplement is the inclusion as an appendix of an alphabetical list of new or previously overlooked generic names under their respective families.
