Fate of herbarium

[edit]

Fairman's collections seem to be split between Cornell (cf. here, but I can't any more details) and NYBG (this paper  is not so useful: only lists him within a list of collectors; it's not clear whether it got there via other herbaria, like Ellis'). Circéus (talk) 01:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Cornell link, I added it. They also have a pic of him here, but I think I'd have to write them for permission to use it. Can't make that DOI work for me though, is there another link?
There seems to be an issue with the springerlink Brittonia DOIs. Here's the JSTOR 2807788 version. Circéus (talk) 02:51, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think mentioning the NYBG with the info we have is warranted. He is merely listed as a collector, wih no connection made to his actual herbarium. As I mention above, they might just be specimens he sent to Ellis or the Garden, not his herbarium as such. Circéus (talk) 19:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
