Another example of a 'seed' packet from JE Little

[oldnick]

Since quite full info is given, this should be entered; as seeds amount to a specimen

[Roger Horton]

Initially I always recorded suck packets, if they had full information, as a separate specimen and as 'seeds/fruits', but then read that what they contained was 'plant parts' and became unsure. Is there a consensus please as to how to record?

[Tom Humphrey]

I would record them, as they probably represent a valid record of a plant (and where there is doubt the original specimen could be checked later)

[Roger Horton]

Done!
