We hope this issue of IRG provides a diversion from the disasters, natural and man-made that beset so many countries at the moment. The last while seems to have been filled with reports of fires, floods and more. In IRG104 John and Anita Watson describe two new viola species from Chile; we learn a little about grant aid available to horticultural students and remember Rod and Rachel Saunders of Silverhill Seeds, including Ernie De Marie's affectionate obituary. Mention is made, too, of the PBS memorial newsletter for Rod and Rachel.
