Excerpt from An Enumeration of the Vascular Plants Known From Surinam: Together With Their Distribution and Synonymy The starting point for this enumeration was a collection of Prof. F. A. F. C. Went, collected in Surinam in 1901 and first worked out by the present writer. When the other expeditions considerably enlarged the material, it appeared desirable to the author to work out as much as possible all the collections from Surinam, the more so as he had the privilege of joining one of the expeditions mentioned as a botanist. In the compiling and editing of this work the author was supported by various bodies. The already mentioned Committee for the scientific investigation of Surinam granted him a'sum of money which enabled him to undertake journeys to Kew, Gottingen and Berlin, in order to compare his collections with those there.
