Gesneriaceae Cultivation

This project involved curation of the greenhouse specimens of Dr. Skog's Gesneriaceae collection. Between visits to the greenhouse, an inventory list was updated and edited. Also, bibliography citations were entered and edited bibliography in Dr. Skog's database file. Both these lists were brought up-to-date and made accessible in database files.
