Here's a quick synopsis:
The cover pictures are D. sp. (white flower) on the cover - a new species
from Parque Nacional das Ewas, Brazil. These are small rosettes with
oblong leaves (sort of like _D. anglica_).
The rear cover shows _U. cornuta_ flowers (I would guess) but the caption states
that it shows _D. villosa_.
The ICPS seed bank list is dated August 12. He no longer has N. lowii
according to a more recent list.
