One file of letters from G.S. Puri, Regional botanist, Botanical Survey of India, Wester Circle, Poona to H.R. Fletcher at RBGE describing the development of the Poona herbarium, museum and experimental garden in around 1958. There is discussion of a seed exchange plus a short article on the activities of the Poona herbarium for publication in our journal [was it ever published?].

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?"
