NPG New Plants Ordered for 2015 Season

Curator Michael Hagen reports:
Here’s the list of what I have ordered for the NPG this spring. Some of it is bulking what’s already there but some is new or a re-introduction:

Marcia says: I will try to do a full-page writeup of these, particularly the true natives, some of which I will find from my copies from the old NPG!  I’m really looking forward to seeing my “old friends” again, or more of them.   Remember that there are numerous common names for many of these plants, but I have added common names to the Latin names, both of which I believe should be used with visitors. (And for me who may come up with at least the easier common name when leading a tour.)
