I also enjoyed the book very much, the numerous photos are truly
worth it. I do have 2 comments though.

- The D.sessilifolia is NOT of this species. True D.sessilifolia are
almost identical to D.burmanni. The species shown might be that new
species D.hirticalyx, which makes the mislabeling much more interesting
than if they'd put a real D.sessilifolia picture!

Jan, how dare you say *should* when we've just discussed this in
detail and you said it was a matter of opinion! 8-) I still think it is
as valid as D.anglica.
