Thanks to Stephen for the e-book info. While on the topic, does anyone know of a downloadable e-version of Wight, R. Icones Plantarum Indiae Orientalis of 1840-53 ? Of course, I may be asking for the impossible as it might be a multi-part run of many pages. However - no harm in asking! John Stanley
