]> [collector note: A: Philipines; specimens for the Forestry Bureau, Manila, under “Ahern’s Collector” were partially collected by Maximo Ramos. Ramos, together with J. Pascasio, also collected for the Bureau of Science that succeeded the Forestry Bureau Series.] [Indigenous and local collectors are instrumental in collecting plant specimens but historically were not always recognized by name. The Harvard University Herbaria (HUH) preserves data in their original form to retain authenticity and facilitate research and has transcribed data as written on specimen labels. We wish not to erase these people from their important roles in botanical history, but we acknowledge that names beyond the term “Ahern’s Collector” were not always recorded.] Botany Ahern’s Collector [name of indigenous or local collector not recorded on specimen label] Ahern’s Collector [name of indigenous or local collector not recorded on specimen label]
