[edit] Largest herbaria
Does anybody know anything about the largest herbaria in terms of number of species? Aelwyn (talk) 09:25, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Herbaria seldom track of advertize that information. The Index Herbarorum doesn't keep track of it either. Part of the problem is that names are constantly changing, and the largest herbaria may have specimens more than a century old. Worse, many of the Paris collections are organized by collector rather than by taxon, which makes counting them very difficult. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:11, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
