Hi Bob,
Do the plants of ssp. buschwellei *all* have solid yellow flowers
or do only some of the individuals in the populations have such
flowers? I think you might be the only person I know of who knows
so much about this species...
Also, I too am looking for Lowerie's Vol 1. The publisher says
they are out of print. I have visited lots of book stores and all
they ever do is refer me to the publisher. I've been looking for
*years* now. Anyone out there who can help? The people at the
publisher's also keep changing the date for Vol. 3. It was supposed
come out nearly a year ago, by what I was told when I first inquired.
This whole thing about Lowerie's books (not being available) has
become very frustrating!
