Tagetes are a New World genus - don't know when they found their way
across here.


There's a woman who spoke to the Lee Church Annual talk . She wrote a
couple of books about imports/plants coming in from other countries and
gave a list of them. Can't think of her name at the moment. Know it was
double barrelled.

Oh right found it after looking through amazon
Maggie Campbell-Culver

She talked at length about what came in when so perhaps her book might help?

Thanks, Janet. It's probably a little late for me to get that now but
it's one I'd like anyway so I'll turn it into a Christmas present for
someone on the premises! It sounds interesting.
