  • Notes

    Updated Jun 2016 (correspondent update, specimen total). Updated Feb 2017 (correspondent update, staff, specimen total, department name). USFS, which was founded in 1911 in Washington, D.C., has been on indefinite loan to RM from Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, Fort Collins, Colorado, since 1982. Although RM and USFS are fully integrated, specimens from Forest Service Herbarium should be cited as USFS.
