Abstract

Egenberg, I. M. & Moe, D.: A “stop‐press” announcement. Damage caused by a widely used herbarium mounting technique. ‐ Taxon 40: 601–604. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. The storage conditions in 4 Scandinavian herbaria have been checked, including indoors climate, mounting techniques, paper qualities etc. Serious damage to plant specimens glued to standard herbarium sheets has been found, while specimens mounted by traditional paper strips were unaffected by changing temperature and relative humidity.
