 independent of cultivation, in North America, here taken to include 

 Greenland, Central America, the Republic of Panama, and the 

 West Indies, except Trinidad, Tobago, and Curasao and other islands off 

 the north coast of Venezuela, whose flora is essentially South American.

 Botanical Garden through the aid of the income of the David Lydig Fund

Volumes 2 to lo. Fungi.
