Message-ID: Vicki Funk FUNKV at si.edu asked me to forward the following message: "The Collections Committee of the Department of Botany, NMNH, Smithsonian Institution, has made the recommendation that the DC & Vicinity Herbarium be integrated into the main herbarium so there would no longer be a separate herbarium for this area. Some of us think that is a mistake. It you want to comment on this recommendation please email the Chair of the Department and/or the Chairman of the Collections Committee. The Chair of the department is not necessarily in favor of this so comments will be important." Chair of the Botany Department Warren L.
