18C to early 20C type collections in Eastern Asia (Foreign Herbaria-TYPE Collections)

A considerable number of type specimens for scientific names of plants collected in East Asia were collected by European or North American collectors and are housed in foreign herbaria, making such information difficult to access. This site aims to gather scattered information to make it easily accessible, and we intend to first collect and publish type specimens as a priority.
