Not reproduced here, as essentials of it were previously published as Table 2 (pp. 342–43) in Svensk Botanisk Tidskrift (Bd. 45, H.2; 1951) owing to delays in official clearance of the present paper, which was drafted early in 1950. Reprints of that more general paper are available on request to Nicholas Polunin, Gray Herbarium of Harvard University, Cambridge 38, Mass., U.S.A.
