#### Composite works
Felix & Hans Lenk (1863-x) contributed Apéndice I (Table de alturas de la obra 'Datos para la geología y paleontología de la República Mexicana', p. 145-238) to José Ramírez, *La vegetación de México*... 1899, see TL-2/4, nr. 8607, where neither Felix nor Lenk is mentioned presumably because these data have no direct impact on plant taxonomy.
