my interest is Utricularia cleistogamae.For the investigations on that plant I will make use of my new bought microscope.In Marchof this year I incidently saw in a shop for used objects a microscope form Germany,make "Hensoldt" I knw these Hensoldt pocket-or travel microscope were very famous in Germany.The man did not know this and so I bought it for $ 35.-It has a power of 600 times enlargement.It is a wonderful instrument and I am quite crazy with it.Just now I could not do very much on Utricularia cleistogamae.About 14 days ago I was at Bishopsbridge,NJ.,but I could see nothing of the plants which grew last y …

… l items by subject mat- ter. This latter index covers 157 four-columned pages (pp. 859-1015) and is ordinarily the first part of the book consulted, unless one knows the name of the author of some particular work. All botanical gen.names are listed alphabetically under the fam. name. - The most complete coverage is in the field of plant taxonomy and chorology (geography), with a considerable amount on ethnobotany; the listing is also of course of interest to one in the field of the history of science and botany. Data on the following more limited fields are also contributed by this volume: vernacular names in the

This will be a yearbook devoted to studies in botanical bibliography including any of the four groups of this Library's collections. Papers of substance and length will be admitted, illustrated to the extent necessary for reader comprehension. While a majority of the papers may originate with this Library's staff, its pages are open also to specialists at other institutions. A modest honorarium will be paid to non-staff contributors. The first volume is sc …

-2- I have one more suggestion to make: as you proceed in your studies, you definitely should make documenting herbarium specimens. Since I have spent some time in developing useful techniques to collect these plants, I took the liberty of sending you a set of these directions. I will be very pleased to receive and will hold specimens documenting your work along with my fairly extensive collection of over a thousand cultivars which is possibly the most extensive of this plant species. I cannot overemphasize the importance of documenting with plant specimens the work that you do with these cultivars in the Ivory C …

… . Your collections have been distributed to various major herbaria of the world. That would be an excellent permanent memento. I deeply esteem both of you for your successive efforts for the development of botanical studies in your high advanced ages. Once again I want to express pur profound appreciation to you for plant material and information concerned from Hawaii. Before long, we shall send you a package of herbarium material. If you have other requirements, please let me know, I will try my best to help you. It always reminds me of your achievements whenever I see the name Degeneriaceae. That would be a gre …

Van Schaack Missouri Botanical Garden 2315 Tower Grove Ave. St. Louis, Missouri 63110 Dear George: I have been quite remiss in failing to acknowledge with thanks your communication of some two months ago, consisting of a copy of your detailed report to McGraw-Hill on the Rickett Wildflower book. Probably I was indeed too generous in my Michigan Botanist review. No one can question the errors you cite and the faults with many of the pictures. I would not deny for a minute that the pictures coul …

… the most important hand-painted florilegia and collections of original flower paintings scattered in various museums and libraries throughout the world. This is something that has never been attempted for botanical drawings and would, in my opinion, add great prestige to the Hunt Library and be of enormous value to the student of botanical art. It is hardly necessary for me to mention the kind of work that I have in mind, but the following are one or two obvious examples: the hundred or more volumes of velins at the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris; the Walther florilegium at the Victoria and Albert Museu …

At the time we were working on a preliminary Vegetation survey report for the Royal Geographical Society's Maracá Rainforest Project, and you kindly sent a copy of a paper which you had published on some of the new species there.

Additional specimens, if available, will be fixed in 2.5% buffered glutaraldehyde for plastic embedding and thick-sectioning for light microscopy. These procedures have been described in more detail elsewhere (Hanlin and Tortolero, 1988). 5. Representative samples of each species collected will be deposited in the Sección de Micología of the Herbario Nacional (MEXU), UNAM, and in the Julian H. Miller Mycological Herbarium (GAM) at the University of Georgia. Miguel Ulloa (1991) has recently published a "Diccionario Ilustrado de Micologia"

Mikrofilm machen zu lassen, obwohl ja die Bestimmung von Pflanzen nach Mikropien gerade nicht zu den angenehmen Dingen gehört. Die Kenntnisse des Mittelmeiers in südlichen Regionen lassen allmählich im Stich. Bei uns kann ich jede Pflanze und komme in den Alpen nicht mit. Augsburger kann ich auch noch heidlich. Wenn man über Jahre lang nicht mehr dort gewesen ist, dann macht man eben das Gedächtnis. Könnten Sie nicht an Prof. Dr. Lemmann in Bingen Olandsturmstrasse 14/1 plausiblende Anagallistücke senden. Er wäre Ihnen sehr dankbar und es würden durch einen Spezialisten diese nachbestimmt. Nun muss ich über Schlü …

microtome methods to the study of plant structure. Her preparations and material were indexed in incomplete and concise fashion of her own, which might well serve as a model for scientific book-keeping. Though her work dealt to a great extent with the minutiae of structure, she never lost herself in a maze of detail; she continually related the study of her sections to the external features of the plant, and also where possible, to the general skeletal system as seen in three dimensions, for instance by rendering the whole region transparent in strong carbolic acid. She insisted that it "is most important to be c …

… pus Dear Dr. Goodspeed: In reply to your recent inquiry about obtaining such herbarium supplies as genus covers, species folders and newsprint to initiate your program of preparing specimens as vouchers of research, I may say that we will be glad to cooperate in every way possible. It is the established policy of the Herbarium to encourage the preparation and permanent preservation of voucher specimens of research in all fields of botany. To facilitate the preservation of slides showing cytological preparations, we have prepared special slide holders so that slides may be safely mounted directly on the sheets wit …

Goodspeed Botany Department University of California Berkeley, California Dear Dr. Goodspeed: I am one of your students from 1950 and at the present time am preparing to teach a course in Cytology here at Colorado A & M. In preparing for the laboratory I find that there is no material for the study of meiosis. I have some plants growing in the greenhouse and also have collected some material without too much success in finding figures. I still hope to find suitable material here …

History of Anatomy The history of anatomy is quite dependent on the history of the microscope since it deals with the very small detail of the plant and its arrangement in the plant. The earliest work was thus practically nonexistent. Most of the anatomy being done after the microscope was invented, and the largest amount being done in relatively recent times by a great diversity of workers. The first workers which could be classified as anatomists, no microscope. Aristotle and Theophrastus. Divided plants up into rind, wood, and pith. Recognized these units as heterogeneous layers. Compared them with animal stru …
