Notes

Updated Jul 2017 (herbarium name, staff, notes updated). The herbarium is located on the third floor of the Pharmacy Faculty, in the University City, just to the south of Plaza Venezuela. Due to the actual social and political situation, the herbarium cannot receive visitors, for reasons of personal security, until further notice. Please do not send MYF any material until further notice. MYF is not being notified of mail received by Customs nor does Customs respond to requests from MYF, and shipments are being returned at the sender's cost. Favor no enviar material hasta próxima noticia, ya que Aduana no notifica a MYF de la Illegada de bultos, ni responde a solicitud, y devuelve los bultos a costo del remitente. Loans: A computerized list of specimens, with basic data, will be sent initially for selection, to reduce shipping costs. It is possible that we can send packages Préstamos: Una lista computarizada de muestras, con datos básicos, se enviará inicialmente para selección, para reducir los gastos de envío. Es posible que podamos enviar bultos.
