[Nhcoll-l] Labels for type specimens in etanol

[Callomon,Paul]

There have been a number of coloring conventions for dots on labels and jars over the years - green for "cited voucher", blue for "figured specimen" etc - but red for "type" has been in pretty consistent use for over a century. I've seen it in collections all over the world.
