Botanical Research

Results of a botanical expedition made to Guatemala in the summer of 1936 by Prof. Carl L. Wilson and Dr. Winslow R. Hatch '3O have just been announced, disclosing that the two Dartmouth faculty members collected nine species of flowering plants new to science and approximately twenty new species of ferns and fern allies. Professor Wilson and Dr. Hatch collected 400 plants during their expedition and sent them for identification to the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago and the United States National Herbarium at Washington. The number of new species included was unusual for a collection of that sort. A complete set of the plant specimens—three in all were collected—has been deposited in the Jesup Herbarium at Dartmouth.
