GENERA PLANTARUM, ad Exemplaria imprimis in Herbariis Kewensibus
servata definita. By GEORGE BENTHAM, F.R.S., President of the
Linnean Society, and Dr. J. D. HOOKER, F.R.S., Assistant-Director
of the Royal Gardens, Kew. Vol. I. Part I. pp. 454. Royal 8vo,
21_s_. Part II., 14_s_.
This important work comprehends an entire revision and reconstruction of
the Genera of Plants. Unlike the famous Genera Plantarum of Endlicher,
which is now out of print, it is founded on a personal study of every
genus by one or both authors. The First Part contains 56 Natural Orders
and 1287 Genera. The Second, now printing, will contain as many more.
The whole will be completed in Four or Five Parts.
