The seeds were collected mainly in Tibet, Pamir, Alai, Tien Shan, Yunnan, Kamchatka, Sechuan, Kunlun, Karakoram, Sakhalin, Patagonia, Turkey and others. Selected pictures are in my photogallery http://holubec.wbs.cz/ . There is a lot of items that were regenerated in the garden. They are as valuable as the natural collections and can be collected exactly when become ripe. These species proved to be growable in rock gardens in Central Europe. Those items are clearly marked with ex. Some items come from other collectors: Jiri Papousek (JP), Zdenek Obrdlik (ZO) and Jaro Horacek (JH). The plants were determined according to Floras, in case of the recent collections Fl. China, Fl Tajikistan, Fl Kyrgyzstan, Key to the vascular plants of Kamchatka. Some plants were not seen in flowers and therefore it is not possible to guarantee all determination. From previous expeditions there are still available many good items. All seeds are marked with a collecting year. Older ones were stored in refrigerator and they keep a good germination ability (some of them germinate even better the second year). Several abbreviations were used in descriptions: pl- plant, lv, lvs-leaves, fl, fls-flowers, infl-inflorescence. Please, order by both numbers and names to avoid mistakes.

I am very grateful to Dr. Lothar Brecker for the characterization and identification of the isolated compounds. Additionally, I thank him for his constant encouragement, support and valuable suggestions. In the lab I have always received invaluable technical support from Mag. Johann Schinnerl, for which I extend him my earnest thanks and appreciation. Prof. Dr. Harald Greger has been very kind and supportive throughout the years, which I gratefully appreciate. Thanks are also due to Prof. Dr. Irene Lichtscheidl and Dr. Wolfram Adlassnig for providing access to their laboratory equipment and for their excellent guidance.

Over 200 people attended a meeting planned by a group of eight rock gardening enthusiasts, including Dorothy Hansell, Florens DeBevoise, and Martha Houghton. These three ladies had met several times in 1932 and 1933 to discuss the possibility of starting a rock garden society. The background of rock gardening in the United States and the story of how our society began was thoroughly documented by Frank Cabot in his excellent essay,"As It Was in the Beginning," based on his fine presentation at the 50th Anniversary meeting of ARGS in Asheville, North Carolina in June of 1984.

Leaves alternate, opposite, or whorled, often all basal, simple, entire to lobed. Flowerssolitary or inpanicles, racemes, or umbels, usually withbracts, perfect, (4 or)5(–9)-merous, often heterostylous (Primula). Calyx persistent. Corolla gamopetalous, actinomorphic, rarely absent (Glaux). Stamens as many as and opposite corolla lobes, ± epipetalous, occasionally with scalelike staminodes. Filaments free or connate into a tube at base. Ovary superior, rarely semi- inferior (Samolus), unilocular; placentation free central. Style simple; stigma inconspicuous, capitate. Fruit a capsules, dehiscing by valves, rarely circumscissile or indehiscent. Seeds few or many; embryo small, straight, surrounded by endosperm. Twenty-two genera and ca. 1000 species; mainly in temperate and mountainous regions of the northern hemisphere; twelve genera and 528 species (373 endemic) are widely distributed throughout China, but are represented mostly in the S and W regions. The centers of diversity for Primula, Androsace, and Omphalogramma are W Sichuan, E Xizang, and NW Yunnan. Lysimachia is also highly developed in provinces S of the Chang Jiang, while Pomatosace is endemic to a small area of NW Sichuan and Qinghai. Many species of Primula and Androsace are cultivated for their attractive flowers as pot plants, in rock gardens, or in garden borders. Some species of Lysimachia are used medicinally. Cyclamen persicum Miller is frequently cultivated as a pot plant. Chen Feng-hwai, Hu Chi-ming, Fang Yun-yi, Cheng Chao-zong, Yang Yong-chang, & Huang Rong-fu in Chen Feng-hwai & Hu Chi-ming, editors.
