… 6. Dr. Carl Junge Victor Lane 455 Concepcion, Chile Dear Dr. Junge: Your letter of August 23rd addressed to the Botany Department of this University reached me after my recent return from Colombia, but the seeds you say that you sent were not received. As you remember, I was in Chile in 1935-36, 38-39 and 42-43. Unfortunately, I never was able to see you in Concepcion. I was to lecture there just at the time of the great earthquake and it was not possible to go later. I will be glad to exchange seeds of California plants for seeds of S. Chilean species. In this Botanical Garden we grow many species from Chile but …

… s used can be easily understood from country to country. It is perhaps worth mentioning here that the management of information by computer-based methods is by no means confined to collections of preserved specimens. Many of us have been concerned for a number of years in establishing unified information systems for what are spoken of as plant genetic resources. By this phrase is meant the living collections of seeds or plants which are preserved for the use of plant breeders and geneticists, and which represent the end products of many thousands of years of evolution under domestication. As an example, work is i …

February 16, 1953 Professor Sir William Wright Smith, Director Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, Scotland Dear Sir: During the next few months I hope to distribute plants of Attu Island (Aleutian Islands) collected by myself and two friends of mine during 1944-45. These will be made up into sets of from 100 to 400 sheets. Although the larger sets will con- tain up to forty per cent Gramineae such a set will contain as well a representative cross-section of the vascular flora of the island (about 300 species). The smaller sets may be rather more heavily weighted with Gramineae since our collecting was concentrated …

Botanical Garden or as pressed specimens to enrich the representation of South American floras in the University Herbarium. Usually a considerable number of duplicate specimens were pressed for purposes of exchange by the Herbarium with scientific institutions throughout the world. The total number of living and dried collections was approximately 11,000. In terms of scientific significance this is one of the outstanding collections of plants that has been made in Peru. 2) Evidence was obtained which will solve problems of classification in certain plant groups especially well represented in the Peruvian floras. …

co-ordination or correlation and with occasional duplication.* These institutions and agencies were of varied origin and status. While each had a somewhat distinct field, in some respects these fields overlapped. There were occasional disagreements between the various staffs. Two of these institutions withered on the vine.† The Arnold Arboretum, however, founded in 1872, not only gained world-wide distinction in the field of horticulture, but also obtained more funds than any of the other so-called "orphan institutions." The Arboretum was developed with consummate skill and indefatigable industry by Professor Cha …

is a lot of plant material. There are perhaps two other institutions in the U.S. with herbaria to compare with this one in New York. One is in Washington--the National Herbarium--and the other is at Harvard University--the combined Gray Herbarium and Arnold Arboretum Herbarium. Each of these three major institutions has about three million specimens. There are other institutions, many others. Missouri Botanical Garden has about one and a half million, and the Chicago Museum has about two million specimens. Philadelphia has about one million, and many universities, with the exception of Harvard which stands well a …
