Brazil, Krukoff Expedition, undated

Dr. Merrill was in contact with botanical institutions and collectors around the world. This series contains his scientific and administrative correspondence. It is arranged by country and then alphabetically by correspondent in that country. The United States material contains most of material related to his administrative duties at the NYBG. The story of the development of the Perennial Border in the Garden is told in that folder. Especially noteworthy is his consulting association with Lignan University in China which resulted in numerous specimens added to collections in the United States and frequent contributions by Dr. Merrill to the Lignan Science Journal. Detailed records of collecting expeditions by J. and M. S. Clemens in Java and New Guinea and the first Archbold expedition are in this series.
