Paratypes

[Nancy Hensold]

        We (F) do not separate paratypes from the general collection, but we
do separate all syntypes if lectotypification has not occurred. I do not
know of any large herbarium which separates their paratypes. (Maybe this way
we can find out if any other large herbaria are represented on TAXACOM.)
