Descriptions of pictures from BGBM, Berlin

sorted by latin name. BGBM = Botanischer Garten Berlin-Dahlem, one of Berlin's botanical gardens. It's BIG; I visited in June 1995.

I'm a bit weak on botany for plants that don't grow in Finland; so if there are errors in the latin names I've probably mixed my notes. Corrections welcome.
