A reply Tim's posting on Rehmannia: as it happens, volume 18 of the Flora
of China is just about to hit the press here at MoBot and will be
available in a few months' time, This is the fourth of the 25 volumes to
be published and covers the major families Scrophulariaceae (foxglove
family) and Gesneriaceae (african violet family). Here's some
nomenclatural information on Rehmannia. If anyone has any specific
queries, just drop me a line....
