[Taxacom] FYI: JStor provides information about types in some collections

[Karen Wilson]

The other good source, of course, for older botanical authors is TL-2, which usually says where the author's original/main herbarium is held, and lists other herbaria holding smaller sets. 
And it gives a good round-up of biographical papers that people might want to consult for further information. 

Regards
Karen

Thank you Peter Schafer for point this out. Alas, it did not work for Agropyron velutinum - but I have been advised to ask LD. Thank you to all those who have helped me with my inquiries. Sure beats writing letters to one's best guesses!
