Application for collection permit: Dr. Gibby refer to your letter dated 90-08-14. The Park Council does not issue official permits, but does grant permission via letter - or even verbally. We have no objections to Dr. Gibby collecting material from the Geraniaceae representatives in Golden Gate. However, if possible, we would like to obtain named specimens of all taxa that he collects for our own collection. Upon arrival in Golden Gate, he must please report to the park head, Mr. Corrie Pieterse, and the senior research officer, Mr. Gideon Groenewald. I assume that he will be under the care of the latter if he is available. He must also please make arrangements in advance with those involved regarding dates for arrival and departure. A copy of this and your letter is being sent to the park.
