The condition of the Leningrad Herbarium

Abstract

Jeffrey, C: The condition of the Leningrad Herbarium. ‐ Taxon 40: 459–460. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. The richness of the Leningrad Herbarium, both with regard to specimen numbers and to their value for science, is pointed out and contrasted against the dilapidated state of the herbarium building. If the herbarium, and the equally priceless library, are to be maintained for the future, the international community will have to help so that an entirely new building can be provided. [Ass.
