Some time ago I proposed elsewhere (1) a new system of the Cormophyta. Since the periodical, whose hospitality was my privilege, may not reach many taxonomists who still may be expected to be interested in the proposal, I deem it justified to briefly review the results at which I arrived in the present journal; and this will give me an opportunity to explain one or two points of a nomenclatural nature which, it seems to me, were perhaps somewhat insufficiently elucidated in the paper quoted. As a matter of course, for details as well as for the full argumentation of my views I have to refer to that publication.
