The
Correspondence of Charles
(Carl) Theodore Mohr (1824‑1901) and George
William Clinton (1807‑1885) Specimens
of Charles T. Mohr curated P.
M. Eckel, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri. Specimens in the Clinton Herbarium were sporadically
computerized at varous times during the 1980's and 1990's. The fern
collections in the General Herbarium (as opposed to the Local Herbarium or
specimens from New York State and Ontario, Canada) were computerized, as were
most of the grasses, hepatics and around half of the moss collections. The
following unedited data is presented to supplement the information posted in
the letters Charles Mohr sent to George Clinton, founder and developer of the
herbarium that bears his name, from 1867 to 1879. Many other specimens in
this collection are yet to be added to the database. Such information may also be correlated with
computerized collections of Mohr's specimens at the New York Botanical
Garden, the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and other institutions. The Clinton Herbarium is presently the nineth oldest
continuously owned herbarium in the United States and is one of the cultural
treasures of the City of Buffalo, New York. Taxus floridana Chapm. USA Florida Liberty Near Bristol. Herbarium of the Arboretum. Harvard University. "Big Sweet Water Creek Velley, 10 [27] 95. Immature fruit [...] from tree full size, 15' [.....]" C. Mohr Oct. 26, 1895 Herbarium number: 25
