[Taxacom] Paper on botanical collecting

Tue May 11 05:53:00 CDT 2010

Dear Niels, 

I highly recommend  "The technique of plant collecting and preservation in the tropics" by Van Steenis. I recall its in Flora Malesiana, Vol.1.  

There is also useful info on things to have in mind when organizing expeditions and topics like distribution of duplicates, making and administrating of a herbarium, etc...

Cheers,

Rodrigo Cámara Leret

So what to collect, which notes need to be made for the labels etc. Recently we received some collections just containing parts of composed and otherwise quite useless collections just because people do not know what to collect. Any suggestions are welcome,
