MUNZ, ASIAN SPECIES OF CONSOLIDA A SYNOPSIS OF THE ASIAN SPECIES OF CONSOLIDA (RANUNCULACEAE) PHILIP A. MUNZ As USED IN THE TITLE of this paper, "Asian" refers to the mainland only and does not include the islands in the Aegean Sea and in the eastern Mediterranean, the plants of which are already treated in Tutin et al., Flora Europaea, vol. 1. 1964, and in Davis, Flora of Turkey, vol. 1. 1965. Material of Asian species has been studied as it exists in the principal herbaria of the United States. Considerable work was done in the library of the Arnold Arboretum and Gray Herbarium of Harvard University. Some months were spent in London working at the British Museum (Na-tural History) and at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in both of which institutions, as at Harvard, very great courtesy and help were given me. The British Museum secured for my use large loans of herbarium sheets from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, and the Komarov Institute, Leningrad. I spent some time also in the Miuseum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, where again every courtesy was extended. Smaller loans, largely for individual species, have been obtained from various places and acknowledgment is made in discussion of the species concerned. To all the curators and keepers and to the librarians to whom I am indebted, I ex-press my very great appreciation. In citing herbarium material I employ the symbols given in IndexHerbariorum (Lanjouw and Stafleu, Reg. Veg. 31. 1964) as follows: A Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U. S. A. BH Bailey Hortorium, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, U. S. A.
