David Nicholson:
Fascinating stuff. A very mature writer for a 17 year old.
Gerry Webster:
Great stuff. Keep it up!
Gerry Webster:
I've just been reading Jim's piece ‘Some Plants of the Atlas Mountains’, an account of his 1962 expedition. To my surprise he makes no mention of the famous collection near Ifrane of Narcissus romieuxii JCA 805 (Indeed there is no mention of any bulbous plants).Did Jim ever write about this collection? If so, does anyone know where?
Maggi Young:
I have before me a copy of "Principal Collections of Seeds, Bulbs, Corms and Rhizomes, 1966" -
Under 'Morocco' is listed " 805. Narcissus bulbocdium ?ssp.romieuxii "
In the fullness of time we will have many of Jim's fieldnotes in the archive.
