By sending specimens to monographers outside of Berlin, I have 
endeavored to procure reliable type-material and in this respect I 
have received the kindly assistance of Prof. Ranıkorer (Sapindaceae), 
Prof. Brocarı (Palmae) and Dr. Brann (Symplocaceae), to whom I am 
greatly indebted. I wish also to express my thanks to the directors 
of the Kónigl. Bot. Museum, Geheimrat Exorer and Geheimrat URBAN, 
who have kindly placed the facilities of this Institution at my disposal. 
To the several specialists of the Museum who have aided me 
in handling this large material and have given me many useful sug- 
gestions, I desire also to express my obligations. 
We are only at the beginning of the study of this Flora; there 
is still an endless amount to do before we shall possess even a 
general view of this rich world of flowers, as at present, many 
districts are still untrodden ground to the botanist.
