Parts not in consecutive order, and may be un-numbered. Although the publication is listed in TL-2 under Henry James Veitch (1840-1924), there is a note that the text is by Adolphus Henry Kent with a reference to A.B. Rendle in J. Bot., 39: 40 (1901). The latter is a review of Veitch's Manual of Coniferae (1900) within which Rendle states "Mr Kent has done excellent service in connection with the Manual of Orchidaceous Plants, for the subject-matter of which he was largely responsible." Also in a review of the whole work of 'Manual of Orchidaceous Plants' in J. Bot., 33: 60 (1895) J. Weathers states, "The actual author of the work is, we believe, Mr Adolphus Kent,..." and in a review of part v. 1(10): http://books.google.com/books?vid=HARVARD32044107231813&printsec=titlepage#v=onepage&q&f=false |
