Abstract

The Grindon Herbarium is unusual in having a very high proportion of botanical illustrations and articles integrated into its systematic arrangement of the specimens. Hitherto unpublished extracts from Grindon's own history and description of his herbarium reveal his intentions in regard to the herbarium's combined specimen and documentary content. An appendix based on new work in the herbarium, listing virtually all significant source publications, example illustrations and their locations, provides a guide to this aspect of the Grindon Herbarium, and gives some indication of the scope of botanical illustration and literature available to such botanists at the time.
