Flora of the Guianas

The project involved the processing of specimens collected for the Biodiversity of the Guianas project. This included distributing the specimens to various herbaria and to specialists for particular families when the specimens were not identified. Labels for these specimens were matched to the correct plants and set aside for mounting and further processing. In addition, several specimens were mounted from the project collection which will be sent to Guiana.
