Smith, but no etymology was given. #### Handwriting Candollea 33: 395-396. 1978. #### Note No complete *bibliography* of Smith is available. Such a bibliography would be quite sizeable because it would have to comprise not only all publications in bookform but also the many contributions to journals, all entries in Rees' Cyclopaedia, as well as entries in books by other authors and translators. ### Publications ##### n.12.216.
