| This long-awaited volume is the last of the new Flora of New Zealand and treats 121 genera in 21 tribes with 460 species, of which 226 are introduced and 46 ‘transient’, i.e. introduced but not persisting, against 188 native ones of which not less than 157 are endemics. Most of the latter belong to the Poeae (49 + 41 others), Agrostideae (45 + 58) and Danthonieae (43 + 15) showing the present temperate nature of the grass flora. This structure of the grass flora is briefly discussed, but its origin is considered ‘unsuited to a flora’. It is a pity that no reference is given to a place where this is done, instead. Of general interest to the New Zealand Flora is the extensive literature list (‘annals’) completing the ones given in previous volumes with... |

| As almost half of the Malesian species of Meliaceae are found in the genus Aglaia, we are glad to receive a sound monograph published for this ecologically so important genus. The format can be characterized as ‘classical’, with chapters on taxonomic history, morphology, floral biology and pollination, fruit and seed-dispersal, germination, cytology, variation and distribution, besides the pure taxonomic revision. The first part would have been a little more attractive for the reader if certain characters had been drawn, especially some of the very intricate or minute features as scales and stellate hairs which have been used intensively in the key and for which, unfortunately, every botanist seems to have his own definition. The 105 species are described... |
