  • Notes

    Updated Aug 2017 (Herbarium name updated). The C. L. Lundell herbarium (LL) integrated at TEX. Specimens from Lundell herbaria (LL and UTD) should be cited as LL. TEX Philippine myxomycetes of C. J. Alexopoulos transferred to LAM. TEX fungi (1116 specimens) transferred to NY in 1990. H.-Dietmar Behnke, who worked at the University of Heidelberg, kept a personal herbarium of vouchers for his extensive work on sieve-element plastids, published from the 1960s through the 1990s. Upon retirement he gave that collection (2399 sieve-plastid vouchers) to TEX in 2000-2001.
