Abstract
Early herbarium specimens collected on exploring expeditions are of both historical and scientific importance.
Even when the specimen labels have little information, records of the expeditions can put the specimens into
context. This is explored with an herbarium sheet of Grindelia ciliata with two specimens, one collected by Thomas
Nuttall and the other collected by Samuel Woodhouse.
