Mostly hand pollinated seeds (HP*)
*all seed lots not marked are (HP), (HP) is not written.
op = Open pollinated
cp = Controlled Pollination, which differs from HP in that the stigma is
         physically covered after pollination. This  covering is meant to
         act as an extra protection against accidental contamination with
         unknown pollen.
cw = Collected in wild

All seed lots not marked 'selfed', 'cp', 'cw', 'op', or 'op, self fertile' are hand pollinated,
hp will not be written.

Some contributors have supplied us with a list of "little known hybrids" they have used.
This list will immediately follow the contributor's seed lot numbers.

Every effort is made to avoid spelling errors; species are listed under the name supplied by the
contributor and thus vary as to classification system. Not all hybrid names are registered or found
in other reference works.


S.O. = Sold out  or =  2044.

       *1. Could be first re-introduction for many years.
       *2. Described 1983 as R. clementinae ssp. aureodorsale, besides being geographically far from clementinae,
           it seem to have NO relationship with clementinae, but shows some similarities to R. galactinum, with a
           grainy surface to the indumentum. Leaves to 10-15 cm and should be very hardy species, first time
	   introduction to cultivation.
       *3. Seems to be a good species, though fairly plentiful, only in a small geographic area and narrow
           altitude band, showing some similarity to R. watsonii.   Cultivation is fairly new.
       *4. Could be first re-introduction for many years.
       *5. Unusual glabrous form.
       *6. Very good indumentum better than usual for rufum, with some tendency to persist on upper leaf surface.
       *7. Probably first introduction ever. I first thought this was going to be R. qinghaiense, but the laeves
          seem to fit zekoense better.

       *8. Probably not in cultivation.
