Compositae Curation - Flora of the Guianas

This project involved the distribution and sorting of plants to be redistributed. After these were sorted into all the different herbaria, registration numbers were obtained and placed in the shipping room. This is an on-going job. Each collector has many plants, and as they are gradually and eventually identified, the proper identifications are to be placed with the proper plants. Some work was done on the keying out of sedges and lichens.
