Richard Spruce Collection

Browse Spruce's collecting notebook
 

Spruce's notebooks contain information about each collector number he used. Each number had a two part entry on opposite pages, and there may have been more than one number on each page of the book.

Because he allocated numbers to specimens once he returned to England, many of Spruce's collections do not have collector numbers or notebook entries.
