Abstract
ONE type of information concerning species is almost universally lacking in herbarium material, even in that of the most copiously collected species and varieties of plants. Because the lack seems to be due to a general failure to appreciate the value of such information, it has seemed wise to direct attention to the problem, and to indicate methods of dealing with it.
