The North American Species Of Smilacina, Desma H. Galway

Theses and Dissertations

This paper is the result of a taxonomic study of the species of the genus Smilacina occurring naturally in North America north of Mexico.

Many of these forms have been given specific or varietal names recently, and as no comprehensive work on the genus has been done since most of these …
