Dr Alicia Lourteig

Dear all,

I was very sorry to read in the latest newsletter of the Geraniaceae Group
of the death of this lady at Saint-Etienne du Mont, France on 30 July 2003
at the age of 89. Dr Lourteig worked in the genus Oxalis at the Museum
National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris for many years, publishing many papers
on the subject including, to my knowledge, a revision of Section
Corniculatae DC for the Americas, as well as a number of new species. It
was rumoured that she had been working on a wider revision of the genus
some years ago, but presumably that is now lost.

(Perhaps one of the list members that belongs to the Oxalis list could pass
this news on as I seem to have dropped out of membership and am not clear
how to return! Many thanks)

Best regards,
David Victor
