Abstract

This field book includes Soderstrom's field notes from a collecting trip to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1969. Lists of plants collected and photograph lists are included in the contents. Plant lists include collector number (1600 through 1771), scientific name, elevation, date, and descriptive notes (including physical observations, collecting locality notes, and abundance / rarity). Some plant entries include sketches. Localities include: N. Eliya, Badulla District, Kahataqasdiqillia, and Kandy. Determination notes accompany some entries. Two postcards from the Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew) confirm delivery of grasses that Soderstrom sent.
