[Nhcoll-l] Soil on herbarium specimens

[Rhay Flores]

I'm curious to see what folks think about saving the soil that sometimes
accompanies herbarium specimens. Generally, collectors remove soil from
their specimens prior to depositing them to a collection, but for specimens
that do end up having an excess of soil, is there a specific amount that
should be saved for further research? Looking forward to some insightful
feedback.

Thanks,
Rhay
