Title: Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh: Vol. XV, Number LXXIII
Post by: arisaema on March 20, 2014, 09:22:20 AM

Can anyone access this article (http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/08705/BDB555E70EA791FD3793DD34A6D24BEFB4394AC8.html) for me? For some reason none of the links seem to work... I am interested in the protologue for and illustration of Nomocharis georgei, starting on page 198.

I contacted the RBGE about the problem with access files via BHL-E and got this reply:

"The problem that you note regarding access to the digital version of the “Notes” was brought to our attention last week and we are liaising with BHL-Europe in order to try and resolve it as quickly as possible."

I have asked for a copy of those notes and will forward them as soon as I have them, Bjornar.

Thank you, Maggi! I realized it had to be an issue with their web page when the links still failed to work this morning, so emailed the library - and just received a kind reply with a copy attached. Seems Lilium georgei and L. saccatum are the same species, George Forrest collected it just south of Fugong.
