RKH collection numbers

Post by Chris in Leeds »

Hi does anybody know if there is a list of the RKH numbers as I have some plants with Royston’s collection numbers on but only one is listed on Ralph’s site
I have two different looking plants with the same name cumulopuntia ferocior but different numbers
RKH159 and RKH280

Hi Chris on the list I have the numbers only go from RKH 1 to RKH 92.
perhaps someone at Liverpool branch can get them for you.
Just checked they may be buried somewhere in the old TSG Journals because Roystons name appears quite a bit in the index.

The paper list I have (Chileans Compendium) only goes up to 149 (from 1986). Some of the later numbers seem to be a renumbering of things that were originally seen/collected with BDH numbers (in 1992-3) but that's a big bit of guess work on my part.

The field numbers I have for RKH go from 1 to 142, which I presume were from the list in The Chileans (I'm not sure why they don't go to 149, assuming Phil is right). If anyone can send me a list of later numbers, that would be great - an Excel spreadsheet would be best.

Thanks everyone
Two do have BDH numbers but it looks like they are for stops or areas as there is a number of plants with the same number

Brian Bates, the B in BDH, certainly uses this approach.
