I have proposed a new Category - Herbaria of the World. Herbaria are locations where collections of plant specimens, used by botanists for research, are maintained. There are a number of famous herbaria, the Kew in England and MOBOT in Missouri, which are rather easily located due to their size (the Kew has approximately 500,000 specimens). I am looking to waymark those that are larger, such as those mentioned, and the smaller herbaria, usually associated with Universities or other facilities of higher eduction. The main requirement for listing will be the identificaiton of the herbaria's assigned abbreviation, Eastern Kentucky University herbarium, for instance, is EKU.
Would like whatever input might be out there and would like to see if there is enough interest to get a couple of officers.
Thank you,
