Indian plants is at [[Collection S|S]] (via Swartz), other sets are at [[Collection BM|BM]], [[Collection LD|LD]], [[Collection NY|NY]], [[Collection SBT|SBT]] and [[Collection UPS|UPS]] (general herb, and Thunberg). The Thunberg herbarium also has plants from Lapland and Finmark (1800). Forsström sent plants directly from the West Indies to the Swedish Academy of Sciences ([[Collection SBT|SBT]]) and to Uppsala University. His personal collections went to Johan Billberg (1772-1844), whose collections were split up after his death. Part of them reached [[Collection BM|BM]] via J. G. Children. *Ref*.: IH 2: 203. - Urban, Symb. ant. 3: 48. 1902. - Löwegren, Naturaliekabinett i Sverige 345. 1952. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 1: 559; BM 2: 595; KR p. 196. - Urban, Symb. ant. 1: 177. 1898, 3: 48. 1902. #### Eponymy *Forsstroemia* S.
