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.
