Bartram* \[standard form in IPNI: *Bartram*\] #### Herbarium Bartram sent plants to Linnaeus (now [[Collection LINN|LINN]]), Sloane ([[Collection BM|BM]]), Sherard and Dillenius ([[Collection OXF|OXF]]) and, perhaps, to Bernard de Jussieu ([[Collection P|P]]-JU). Some material also at [[Collection UPS|UPS]] (Thunberg), but possibly in part from William Bartram. The Bernhardi herbarium at [[Collection MO|MO]] has also some John Bartram material (D'Arcy). *Ref*.: IH 2: 58. - Druce, Account herbaria Oxford 9. 1897. - Druce and Vines, The Dillenian herbaria 1907. - Jackson, Index Linnaean herbarium 10. 1912. - Dandy, The Sloane herbarium 88-89. 1958. - Clokie, Account herbaria Oxford 126-127. 1964. - D'Arcy, Missouri Bot.
