specimens in various sized boxes (which either don’t fit in our freezers or the box is so strange we don’t realize there are herbarium specimens inside). Specimens have also been arriving in envelopes. Envelopes are not a good shipping container. The specimens
will be severely damaged during shipping. Please use boxes.<o:p></o:p></p>
