|
|
I've started uploading sheets from the final batch of BIRM specimens.
These sheets (~2000) are from a distinct collection filled separately from the main herbarium series. As the sheets were not sorted into species folders and because there are typically only one or two sheets per taxon I've decided not to preassign names to this set.
When documenting these sheets you'll need to enter a taxon name (picking from the drop list). The typed name on the sheet will often be accurate, but may not be the currently accepted version, due to nomenclature changes. Please try to use the currently accepted name (e.g. according to Stace ed 2 or 3, or the BSBI checklists).
So far as I know none of these sheets have a collector named (if any specimens give a clue as to collector, or if you have any ideas then please post a message about this). The sheets are probably all from the same source and there is probably a single collector. Please don't mark the sheets 'no collector named' as we will eventually find the collector.
The sheets have a typed year of collection near the top of the label as well as the day/month below. Most are from the Worcestershire area. |
