Overview
Files in this series consist primarily of correspondence and exchanges of specimens, reports and research as well as studies into economic botany.
Note: the files are prefixed with BOT 17; this sequence does not easily tally with the main registered file series for this period (namely MU000001 and MU000002), and it is assumed that the Botany Department created these files as a separate file system probably for reasons of convenience and access.
It is likely that the number 17/ was chosen because this denotes botanic materials in the main Museum file system of the time (MU000001).
