[Taxacom] Specimen image requests

[Elspeth Haston]

Dear all

I'm wondering if any other institute is receiving e-mails requesting specimen images similar to the samples below from yahoo.com e-mail addresses. We are trying to find out if these are genuine requests or not, and it would be helpful to find out if any other institute has been dealing with these.

Here are some samples:

I need Eremostachys image of herbarium Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E)<http://plants.jstor.org/search?st=6462>, but i could not give it. It would be much appreciated if you do a favor and send me as soon as possible.

I need Scutellaria image of herbarium Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (E)<http://plants.jstor.org/search?st=6462>, but i could not give it. It would be much appreciated if you do a favor and send me as soon as possible.

 I work on Scutellaria genus and i need type of Scutellaria of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh <http://plants.jstor.org/search?st=6462>  herbariom, but i could not give it. It would be much appreciated if you do a favor and send me as soon as possible.

I need to image of  " syntype of scutellaria orientalis L. subsp. Bornmulleri (Hausskn. ex Bornm.)
and i could not give it.

Many thanks

Elspeth
