New Glass Flowers.

The University Museum received last week a new consignment of glass flowers, comprising twenty or thirty species of very complicated structure. They will be used to fill up gaps in the series, and are now nearly all in place. The river weeds have been put beside some desert plants, in order to show the differences between plants growing in water and those growing where there is but little moisture. In the case showing the relation of plants to animals are two species of bladderwort which capture minute water-animals. Some of the very beautiful tropical plants that Mr. Blaschka has been studying are in the wall case near the Economic Room.
