How the Library handles rights and attribution

The grower describes his Black Dragon plant as having unmarked, pale-green leaves. Quoted correspondence from George Mendoza claims wild western-Luzon origin and rejects hybrid origin. The White Dragon comparison is an attributed identification lead, not an accepted pubicalyx form.

Source use is limited to the stated naming or grower context. Current material continuity remains unverified.

Evidence scope and limits

How do we know this?

Hoya Library separates a source from the claims made from it. Citation details identify the publication; linked findings and treatments show how it is being used; archive notes state what has actually been checked. Corrections and stronger evidence can therefore be added without hiding earlier interpretations.

If you have a clearer scan, a missing page, or a correction to this citation, please share the source details and page reference with Hoya Library.
