HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

As much on the general subject of synonymy as it is relating to 'Baron Chaurand' is what the Ketten catalog of 1901, p. 101, has to say under heading 'Baron de Bonstetten'; to wit, the entry begins by stating that Bonstetten "= Boncenne (Liabaud 65)"--which we moderns reading it would understand as we being told that 'Baron de Bonstetten' and 'Monsieur Boncenne' are synonyms--but then goes on to state that 'Baron de Bonstetten' and 'Baron Chaurand' are both seedlings of ("issues de") 'Monsieur Boncenne', "resembling it very much." Clearly, synonymy and "=" in the era are to be understood as being as likely to simply mean "lookalikes" or even "near lookalikes" as much as being true "identical same plant" synonyms. Perhaps the idea was from the exhibition tables, where lone display blossoms of various varieties could under those exhibition conditions be difficult to distinguish (while, on the plant with blossoms in other states of expansion, and on plants which would differ in habit and/or behavior, it would be easier to tell the difference).
