[NHCOLL-L:2949] Botanical exchange available from BKL

[Barringer, Kerry]

	The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Herbarium has a wealth of material
available for exchange due to recent collecting and herbarium work by
our scientists.  We are looking for additional exchange partners who are
interested in receiving specimens from us and who can send us good
recent or historical material in return.

We have two types of material available.

	- Recently collected specimens from the eastern United States.
In the past year, we have collected extensively in southern New Jersey
and the New Jersey Pine Barrens and less intensively in northwestern New
Jersey and southern New York State as part of our work in floristics and
conservation.  

	- Mounted historical specimens from New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, and the western United States.  We have an NSF funded
project to database our specimens from NY, NJ, and CT and have been
using this opportunity to remove the good duplicates from the
collection.  Most of the specimens are by L. Lighthipe, W. Van Sickle,
O. P Phelps, and others who collected in NY, NJ, and CT between 1885 and
1920.  We also have some duplicates of specimens from the Western United
States by A. A. Heller, H. K. Svenson, J. M. Bates, E. Hall, O. Brown
and others.

	Please email to kbarringer at bbg.org if you are interested.  We
can be flexible in the terms and the number of specimens sent.  

	Those of you who already exchange specimens with us need not
reply.  We will be sending you our usual winter shipment in the next few
weeks and we look forward to getting more of the great specimens you
have been sending us.

Thanks,
Kerry
