(O'Neill) # # Description: # # Rene [07 Apr 1999] reports that the stain on the sunflower page looks # as if it is the result of spilled ink/pigment, after the green of the # leaves had been applied. # # Comments: # # The most startling identification, however, was folio 93, # which is quite plainly the common sunflower, Helianthus annuus L.. # Six other botanists have agreed with me on this determination.
