Limited Character Taxonomy and Cytological Vouchers in Tradescantia. A
collection of Tradescantia indigenous to the U.S. was on loan
from Missouri Botanical Gardens. Individual specimens in the collection
were alleged to be cytological vouchers of a series of papers by Edgar
Anderson. This project involved documenting the information of the
sheet into a database, separating the true vouchers from those not
matching a citation, and cross-referencing the sheet information with
the information cited in the literature. The second half of this project
involved making current identifications with Dr. Faden. After this,
sheets were labeled and an extensive paper reporting research and
findings was written. This research was supported by a grant from the James Smithson Society. |
