Description:
This second Part has its origin principally in Dr. ALFRED REHDER\xe2\x80\x99S \xe2\x80\x9cManual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs\xe2\x80\x9d 1927.\nThat admirable work contains several revolutionary looking changes of names, which changes partly were already propagated in BAILEY\xe2\x80\x99S works of the last years; and I have made a study of those names, beside others. The result is that I cannot in many cases join with REHDER\xe2\x80\x99S new-old names and principles. But when I therefore criticise in all those cases REHDER\xe2\x80\x99S opinion, the reader must not think thereby that I criticise REHDER\xe2\x80\x99S work as a whole. I criticise the names and principles only because I think that these changes and principles are unfavourable with respect to the world\xe2\x80\x99s effort to obtain unity of plantnomenclature; and I don\xe2\x80\x99t think about criticizing the work as a whole. REHDER\xe2\x80\x99S \xe2\x80\x9cManual\xe2\x80\x9d is the result of long and arduous work; it is in its relative size the most complete, the sharpest as to the characters, the newest and most usable of all Dendrological works existing. No Dendrologist, even no Botanist, who has to do with Trees and Shrubs, can do without it.
