In the spirit of sharing information on the fabulous Internet Superhighway and the quest for knowledge, WAYNE'S WORD is featuring quarterly and monthly articles about little-known and unusual plants of the world. These are mostly plants brought to Professor Armstrong by curious students who wanted to know more about them, or perhaps wanted to get a better grade in biology. Monthly articles will appear from time to time and are listed by the month that they first appear in reverse chronological order. Longer articles about various botanical subjects will be published on a nonregular, quarterly basis.

Many of these topics are based on articles by W.P. Armstrong that appeared
in numerous natural history publications. See List Of Published References.
