Nineteen additional herbaria have been called to our attention since the last installment of this series was published in February 2002. Information on these herbaria is presented below in alphabetical order by country. This brings the total number of herbaria added since the publication of Edition 8 to 393. Information for 3175 herbaria and 9623 people in 165 countries is available for searching by country, institution, city, state, acronym, staff member, correspondent, and research specialty at http://www.nybg.org/bsci/ih/ih.html. Telephone and fax numbers as well as email and URL addresses are included. Note that the Index is fully searchable on research specialty, so it also serves as a PLANT SPECIALISTS INDEX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
