Ferns from Darjeeling, India, collected by Phoebe Jaffrey, 1882 - 1883

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

Fern specimens from Darjeeling, India. A label inside the front cover notes that the specimens were "mounted by Mrs. P. Jaffrey/Darjeeling." Phoebe Jaffrey was the wife of the curator of the Lloyd Botanic Gardens in Darjeeling, India. She created albums of dried ferns, carefully mounting and labeling them.

The specimens are labeled with genus, species, and patria. Some are also labeled with an inscribed (common?) name. All three of the volumes have the same title, but each volume is unique.
