Abstract

Replicability is a key concept in science. The citation of extant material used for comparative purposes in palaeobotanical studies is the sine qua non of this replicability. However, there is no standard for citing herbarium sheets, personal collections, or field pictures of specimens. Here, I propose a simple citation guideline for all these cases, emphasizing the citation of the voucher specimens using the collector's name and collection number.
