Hello, all.

I'm interested in finding out where the plant specimens collected by
James Abert in 1846(ish) have ended up. Abert was with the Military of
the West and collected plants during his trip, particularly from
southeast colorado.

Past contacts have included universities in Colorado and Nebraska, as
well as Kew and the Smithsonian. All turned up nothing. If you have his
specimens in your collection or think you might know where they are,
please let me know. Thanks in advance.
