The original Fielding herbarium and library are at [[Collection OXF|OXF]]. Gardner's Brazilian herbarium (coll. 1836-1841) is at [[Collection BM|BM]] with a very rich second set at [[Collection OXF|OXF]]. Gardner was a professional/collector, Henry Fielding subscribed in advance to his Brazilian collections and received the most complete set after that of [[Collection BM|BM]]. Later Gardner was employed by Fielding to arrange his herbarium: from this collaboration stems the *Sertum plantarum*. In 1844 Gardner went to Ceylon where he stayed until his death; the first set of his Ceylonese collections is at [[Collection K|K]]. Fielding's British herbarium is also at [[Collection OXF|OXF]]. *Ref*.: IH 2: 196; Laségue p. 330. - Hooker, Kew J.
