Index Londinensis to Illustrations of Flowering Plants, Ferns and Fern Allies, being an emended and enlarged edition continued up to the end of the Year 1920 of Pritzel's Alphabetical Register of Representations of Flowering Plants and Ferns compiled from Botanical and Horticultural Publications of the XVIIIth and XIXth Centuries

Abstract

VOLUME 3 of this work appeared in June 1929. It contains 555 pages and references to illustrations of all plants from Earina to Justicia inclusive. Volume 4 was published in October 1930. It consists of 568 pages and references to plants from Kadsura to Pedicellia inclusive. Volume 5 appeared in February 1931. In its 549 pages are to be found references to illustrations from Pedicularis to Sapium inclusive. Thus, such important genera as Pelargonium, Pinus, Pirus, Primula, Rhododendron, and Rosa are included. As exemplifying how the same species may occur under different generic names in different parts of the “Index”,Pelargonium pallens, P. parviflorum, P. zonale, and others are found under Geranium in Vol. 3 Prunus Padus occurs as Cerasus Padus and Potamogeton palustris as Comarum palustre in Vol. 2, Rhododendron indicum as Azalea indica in Vol. 1, and so on. Names are always quoted just as the author gives them from whose work the references are taken, and this necessarily involves the quotation of references to the same species in different volumes.
