Transcriber’s Notes
- Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook is public-domain in the country of publication.
- Corrected a few palpable typographical errors.
- Slightly relocated species images before descriptive text, and flower color after the descriptive text, where they had been dislocated because of page layout issues in the printed exemplar.
- In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by _underscores_.
