Acknowledgments

The death of my father in 1949 put an end to the series of excellent drawings which had illustrated my botanical papers in Transactions. The accompanying figures were drawn in the first place by my friends J. Bruce Irwin, Owen E. Gibson, and Colwyn Trevarthen. These originals were then enlarged and drawn to a uniform scale by H. C. Abraham, Cable Bay.
