Loans from other herbaria

- If you wish to request a loan from another herbarium, please contact Matthew (Phan.) or Ellen (Crypt.).

- If you wish to return a loan, you should verify that all sheets are accounted for and bring it directly to Lucy in Shipping. Or you may leave it on the counter height cabinet near the lunch table on the fourth floor, with clear instructions marked on the drop tag.
