[Nhcoll-l] [HERBARIA] FW: Long Shelf Lives

[bwilson at peak.org]

Calamagrostis muiriana (a grass) was known to need it's own name for over
a century, but the first person to try to name it chose the wrong type
specimen (because its leaves were rolled up and it was misidentified.  It
was finally named successfully in 2002.  Wilson, Barbara L., and Sami
Gray.  2002.  Resurrection of a century-old species concept in
Calamagrostis (Poaceae).  Madroño 49: 169-177.

Carex serpenticola (a sedge) was first collected in 1931 and described in
1998.  Zika, Peter, Keli Kuykendall, and Barbara L. Wilson.  1998.  Carex
serpenticola (Cyperaceae), a new species from the Klamath Mountains of
California and Oregon.  Madroño 45: 261-270.

Not quite what you're looking for, but what I know.

> Hello Friends,
> I know I've bothered you all several times before, but I thought I'd ask
> for one final round-up. I expect to sign a contract next month with a good
> academic publisher for my project. I'll share the details when I do! So,
> I'm again seeking examples of species with long shelf lives, hoping I
> shake a couple more from the trees this last time. That is: specimens were
> collected in the field a long time ago, let's say at least 50 years ago,
> but hopefully longer than that, even 100 years ago maybe, before they were
> finally described and named. the description must be relatively recent
> too, like since 2000, but hopefully even more recent than that. I want
> worms, tapeworms, spiders, fish, sea anemones, bats, cats, birds, wasps,
> frogs, orchids, lichens, molds, everything, you name it. The stranger the
> better!
> Thanks so much for your help in advance!
