Scope and content
2 card index boxes (possibly incomplete) stored in one box, listing monocots from Glasgow University's Herbarium that came to RBGE on permanent loan in 1942.
There is a note in index box 2 from Jennifer Woods which states "...I was looking under stairs ... and found these cards loose but I think complete. They are a record of the Glasgow Herbarium (this includes many types and it is often useful to check on the cards whether we can expect to find a certain collection) which is on permanent loan along with the card index. It is not ours. These are just the monocots. have you still got the dicots?"
