What the heck. i am a horrible typist, and often appear to be a bad speller
thereby. i variously spell dawei as 'daweii' which is the first way I saw
it. i have read statements i made in print which i KNOW i never said. i
have NO IDEA how they got there.  it is virtually impossible to proof read
ones own self.

I do not think a work such as Brown's , becomes obsolete in the sense that
it is part of the history of our learning. and, whereas the system whereby
we classify things may change, the things being classified, in this case,
Sansevierias, they remain the same. i am sure that when dna  genome typing
becomes affordable, many plants and animals will be wrenched from their
former families and placed elsewhere.  speaking of The Children Of The
Night, it is not posible presently to distinguish wolves from domestic dogs
with DNA exam.  and, i  did some landscaping for the last house Bela Lugosi
owned.
