Cards have been left in the same order that E.P. Beattie left them - users should take care to retain this order when using collection. The cards/plants are numbered and ordered using J.E. Dandy's system as outlined in his 'List of British Vascular Plants', BSBI, 1958 (right click, open link in new tab) https://rbge.koha-ptfs.co.uk/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=61852&query_desc=kw%2Cwrdl%3A%20Dandy%2C%20j.e.
