Abstract

Using herbarium as a resource for ex-situ conservation is an important tool. The author has shown how the data from herbarium sheets and GIS can used for targeting seed collections by using Brahms. The author has compiled and produced over 30 collection guides for the Millennium Seed Bank Enhancement Project whilst working at Kew. These guides serve a good indicative tool in collecting seeds from the field. The author shares the methods and process involved in compiling and producing the collection guides.
