Rubiaceae Curation

Sorting and filing Rubiaceae into proper geographic and taxonomic arease took up most of the project time. This was completed and new case labels were produced. A small monograph on three genera of the family was also produced. Researching literature when a new genus was not recorded in the herbarium was also involved. Kamal Mohamed helped organize and update the Rubiaceae collection.
