Regretably, not all of this fas- cination has been beneficial to the country due to unsupervised, large-scale collecting in the past. Stricter laws, now in effect will, hopefully, insure the survival species there.of many endangered However, with the increased pressure now being especiallyexerted, upon tropical taxa, it seems necessary botanists to quickly as-for certain the status of threatened species with government cooper-and, ation, conserve large samples of them. Seed banks and vegetative propagation should also be on the agenda. Aside from the purely aesthetic value of plants, there exists, in Mexico, a vast pool of potentially valuable genes which must not be allowed to perish. Time is of the essence. Space permits the beneficialus only to mention results from the work on Dioscorea . The history the scopeof plant exploration is also outside of this work but Dr. I.reference is made here to the fine studies of Langman Dr. J. Rzedowski Dr. H.W. Rickett(1964), (1978), (1947), Dr. McVaugh (1972), Dr. Leon (1895), and C.E. Chardon (1949). Many of the cited references in the present work, especially to those who itineraries, accomplish-are deceased, contain information on ments, and other valuable data.

For example, all available volijnes, usually starting with the first one, of the following serials were examined: Madrono, Annals Mis- souri Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, Rhodora, Phytologia, Brittonia, Flora Neotropica, Flora Veracruz, Memoirs New York Botanical Garden, Boletin Societe Botanica Mexicana, University of California Publications in Botany, Biotropica, Sys- tematic Botany, Journal Cactus and Succulent Society of America, Sida and the Southwestern Naturalist. It became apparent that if all articles in which the collector's name were cited, the refer- ence section would be book-sized. Accordingly, only some represent- ative titles are given. In some cases, verification is given only by citing the specimen and the herbarium. In a few cases, only the herbarium is given as supplied from a list of collectors sent to me by herbaria curators. Standard herbaria acronyms are used through- out while a few herbaria have no assigned initials. Our major effort has been directed toward the collectors of phanerogam. We have however, added the names of cryptogam collectors when brought to our attention. As one might suppose, there were some problems which arose in the preparation of our list of collectors. Sometimes monographers mis- spell the collectors name or they omit the initials. This becomes serious in the latter case, when we encounter about 15 "Smiths", 22 "Garcias", 14 "Johnsons", and so forth. I urge authors to in- clude the initials either in the text or in a list of exsiccatae at the end of the article. Some Latin American collectors do not use their mother's name thus well have some duplica-and we may very tions. have couldWe added as many birth and death dates as we find but, in some cases, there are differences of opinion from authority to authority. Finally, I wish to thank the hundreds of individuals who have helped in one way another, the curators and theiror especially faithful assistants.PHYTOLOGIA MEMOIRS VI 1 ABARCA, M.-Moldenke 1966.
