Flora of the Guianas

This project involved processing of the Flora of the Guianas. These tasks included sorting specimens for identification and exchange, entering recently received identifications into field notebooks, mounting specimens to be sent to the Guianas, filing specimens back into the herbarium, and collating labels to be put with the respective specimen. All of this was done under the supervision of Carol Kelloff.
