Texas Plant Specimens

[Hugh D. Wilson]

A group will be meeting later this month at the Botanical Research
Institute of Texas to consider electronic access to base (specimen)
data on the Texas flora.  Requests for info have been sent to all
Texas herbaria listed in IH.  The following questions are for curators of
all vascular plant collections that contain a significant sample of Texas
material:

How many Texas specimens do you have? (rough estimate is fine)

How many of these have been computerized in one way or another?

Thanks for your help.
