INDEX TO THE HERBARIUM 
OF EDWIN B. BARTRAM (1878-1964) 
Bartram^s herbarium, destined for the Farlow since 1942, was transferred 
from his home in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, to Cambridge in August 1964, four 
months before his death. It consisted then of some 64,000 mounted specimens 
and about 8000 packets of duplicates and unidentified specimens. In February 
1964, a further lot of some 5000, mostly unidentified specimens, were disco¬ 
vered and sent by his family. Some of the unmounted material has been added 
to the herbarium and many duplicates have been distributed. The General 
Herbarium at FH also contains many Bartram specimens, sent during his life¬ 
time. Besides the holotypes of well over 2000 Bertram names, there are iso¬ 
types from Brotherus, Fleischer, Cardot, Theriot, and other correspondents. 
The herbarium is, of course, particularly strong in collections from Central 
and South America, Malaysia and Hawaii, on which Bertram published major 
studies, but a glance at the bibliography in Crumbs memorial of Bertram 
( Bryologist 69: 124-134. 1966) will show the breadth of his interests. 
The original index to the herbarium was prepared by Richard Fralik, 
under the direction of I. Mackenzie Lamb, in 1966-1967. Since then, 
corrections and additions have been recorded by the curatorial staff as 
addenda pages. The pages now issued incorporate all previous revisions. An 
asterisk has been placed on the species lists at the point where these should 
I, 
occur in the alphabetical arrangement. For this 1982 edition, the species 
lists themselves have been re-read, typing and spelling errors corrected, 
and names and authorities originally lacking or carrying a question mark 
have been verified from the specimen labels. A number of Bertram types not 
heretofore indicated have been underlined. We repeat here that, as with all 
Farlow indexes, the underlining of types is based solely on information from
