Gartenflora, vol. 51, p. 216. 

 1904. Manning, J. W. : American Gardening, Mar. 5. List of some 



27 species with short descriptions. 



The descriptions of species that follow are not compiled from 

 the descriptions found in the various monographs, but are taken 

 bodily from Mr. J. G. Baker's Monograph of 1884 in the Gar- 

 dener's Chronicle, with the idea that these descriptions are typical 

 and authoritative. The artificial key preceding the descriptions 

 was worked out by the writer from the descriptions made by Mr, 

 Baker. The writer is fully alive to the danger of such a procedure, 

 and submits the key simply as a basis upon which to work. Changes 

 will be introduced, if found necessary after a careful study has 

 been made of the plants in the field. 



Other species, which are considered good by the Index Kewensis 

 but not included in Baker's Monograph, are : 



Biebersteiniana (Rupr. Fl. Cane.) ; Fimbriate; Subternate (Salm- 

 Dyck, I.e. 367) ; Algeriensis (Chab. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 36, 1889) ; 

 Atlantica (Kralik, ex-Trab. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 36, 1889); De- 

 lavayi (Franch, I.e. 33, 1886, 382; Huth in Bot. Jahrb.) ; Lutea 

 (Delavay, ex-Franch. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 33, 1886, 382, Huth in 

 Bot. Jahrb.)
