Mexicanas plantas **Title** *Mexicanas plantas* nuper a collectoribus expeditionis scientificae allatas aut longis ab annis in herbario Musei Parisiensis depositas praeside J. Decaisne... enumerandas curavit Eug. Fournier, Paris (ex Typographeo reipublicae) 1872; 1886, 2 vols. Qu. **Abbreviated title**: *Mexic. pl.* **Notes** *Pars prima Cryptogamia* adjuvantibus cl. W. Nylander et Em. Bescherelle edita. Paris 1872, p. \[i-iii\], \[1\]-166, *pl. 1-6*, uncol. liths by Riocreux. *Copies*: MO, NY. *Pars secunda Gramineae* Paris Apr-Mai 1886, p. \[i\*-iii\*\], \[i\]-xix, \[1\]-160, *10 pl*., uncol. liths. *Copies*: MO, NY. The compilers of the *Index kewensis* state (Anon. 1925): "The latter volume, however, was actually in print as early as June 1880, and clean sheets were sent by Fournier to several botanists, including Bentham \[letter at Kew, see also Hackel\], who received a set in March 1881 and presented it to the Kew Library." Similar notes are found in the Hackel copy (received p. 1-144 in Nov 1881 and 145-160 + t.p. in 1886) and in the Agnes Chase copy at the Smithsonian Institution. Distribution of clean sheets (Aushängebogen) to several botanists of which at least two placed their copies in public libraries, could be accepted as effective publication, in this case as of Nov 1881. Reeder and Reeder, however (1974) present a good case for maintaining the 1886 date. Actual distribution took place in Apr-Mai 1886 (Nat. Nov.) The *Mexicanas plantas* constitute the *Recherches botaniques*, ed. J. Decaisne, of the *Mission scientifique an Mexique et dans l'Amérique centrale*, 13 vols. Paris 1868-1897. Qu. The original cover title of Fournier's Graminées runs as follows: "Mission scientifique au Mexique et dans l'Amérique centrale, ouvrage publié par ordre du ministre de l'instruction publique. Recherches botaniques publiés sous la direction de M. J. Decaisne, membre de 1'Institut. Seconde partie. Graminées par Eug. Fournier. Paris. Imprimerie nationale MDCCCLXXXVI." (*copy*: Teyler). The back page of this cover bears the announcement "Cette seconde partie sera complétée par six planches qui paraîtront avec les planches de la troisième partie" (never published). *Associates*: Émile Bescherelle (1828-1903, crypt.); Joseph Decaisne (1807-1882, gen. ed.); William Nylander (1822-1899, crypt.) *Ref*.: IF p. 697; Jackson p. 368; Langman p. 290. - J.
