I may be reading too much into too little, but if you are interested in mesembs and these are Harry Hall, Petr Pavelka, Steve Brack and Steve Hammer, I'm not sure how much Ralph's database has on these collectors. I always find the Mesa Garden seedlists quite informative for these.

Ralph's DB helped a lot (tu)
I had to do a little more digging on Google to find out that some of the numbers were just catalogue numbers and not locality data but I'm getting there :wink:

I'm compiling my own collection database/catalogue with as much info on each plant in case I'm too ill to look after them, that way my Mrs has no excuses :lol:

Thanks for all the responses (tu)

In general, I have more field numbers for cacti than succulents (offers of other lists always welcome), but anyway, you can find out what lists I have by scrolling down on
