Three boxes of Schoenus Ferrugineus research by Brian S. Brookes
Box 1 contains 2 photos of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, future King of Bhutan inspecting Schoenus ferrugineus with George Sherriff.
Collection seems to focus around a plantation of Schoenus ferrugineus that was growing on the banks of Loch Tummel that was lost by a hydro scheme in the 1940s/1950s? and Brookes's attempts to replant a new population at Loch Tummel in the 1970s.
3 printed annual reports (3 x 4 pages, 200 x 250mm) of The Botanical Museum & Library at Cambridge University; dated 25 March 1828, 25 March 1829, 25 March 1830.
The 1828 report outlines the start of a proper funded botanical museum. Prof Henslow lists present acquisitions and solicits help in augmenting the collection. The 1829-30 reports demonstrate success in increasing the collection of plant samples and publications.
