PHORADENDRON TYPE MATERIAL IN THE UNIVERSITY AND JEPSON HERBARIA AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY
Abstract
Type collections are invaluable resources that provide information on named taxa and illustrate the materials used to describe them. This paper documents the type materials of the branch parasite, Phoradendron Nutt., that are held in the University and Jepson Herbaria at the University of California, Berkeley (UC/JEPS). During this project we found type materials of 93 Phoradendron taxa from 17 countries. The entire Phoradendron collection of more than 5200 specimens was also organized, imaged, and made available on the herbaria portal.
