As good or even better than TL-2 in many cases is the set of 7
"Collectors" parts of Index Herbariorum.

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!
