Robert Everard Woodson, Jr.- Correspondence, notes and clippings, 1964

Included in this series are notes, manuscripts and reprints related to 5 of the 20 studies on lauracea that Dr. Allen published during her tenure at the New York Botanical Garden. The bulk of the material relates to her contributions in lauraceae (including plate drawings) to Bassett Maguire’s Botany of the Guyana Highland, V and VI. The detailed indexes to these articles created by Dr. Allen are found here. The manuscript for her review of Kostermans’ Bibliography of Lauraceae, published in Taxon in 1964 is here with its multiple and painstaking revisions. Other manuscripts include her Lauraceae contributions to E.H. Walker’s Flora of Okinawa, Steyermark’s Flora of Ayuan-tepui, and notes for her study of phytologia, nectandra, ocotea, and pleurothrium in South America (1966).
