I am missing several issues of the outstanding work illustrated by Nees, Spenner, 

 Endlicher and Kachsteigern on Genera Plant.FI. Germ.lcon; and therefore do not know

 cryptogames for some of ours or exchange a couple of hundred crypto and 

 pharogamesi 4-600)? With the exception ofa few umbelliferae Dr. Frank gaave me I

 keep up with all current collections; the last plants I bought were from Mr. Schimgerisch 

 from Ethiopia.
