Herbarium: Miscellaneous Collections

The Flora of Purdyburn

This handwritten book does not contain any specimens, but does have hand drawn and coloured representations of the plants, although these are not to any scientific specification. The book was handwritten by Arthur Thomson MA (Cantab), BPhil (St And) and contains good descriptive information on the specimens and includes dates and locations.

Nineteenth Century Mosses

The collection has two unrelated books from the nineteenth century which contain mosses. The first (DUNUC 7787) contains mounted specimens and the second (DUNUC 7788) contains individual packets with specimens contained in them.
