Thank you guys for your comments. Actually I do not suppose the subspecies
identity of Anthiaris is quite essential for me. The tree is mentioned in
"my" book as an example of semilegendary plant, highly toxic due to its
secondary metabolites (phytoncides). Anyway, I am going to compare anything
I can get to the images I found in the Internet (though I did not get any
publication permission so far; I wrote twice to author of the photograph
that I liked most, but he/she either checks the mailbox very rarely or is
not interested in getting in touch with me). I am buying the idea of trying
out various spelling variants of Anthiaris. I do understand photos can
painfully raise the book's price and publishing in the Internet is another
option. I am publishing my lectures on plant tissue culture in the net. But
the book for which I need these photos is meant to be a very popular, handy
and attractive introduction to phytopathology and for this purpose
traditional paper book format seems better suited.
With kind regards,
Dariusz
