*Note*: This is a fourteen part series that Fries alone (Parts I-III) and then in collaboration with his brother R.E. Fries (Parts IV-XIV) edited. All of the parts were published in Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin-Dahlem, vols. 8-11. 1923-1930. Authorship varies (even within a part) and some of the contributions have been treated earlier under the names of collaborators (e.g. Carl Christensen, Part VI, see TL-2/Suppl. 4, nr. 26.238). We have seen offprints only of the first and tenth part, but offer the following summary of the paging and dates for the entire work:
