Planalto Expeditions
In the following list, the trips are arranged by date. The dates are followed by range of collection numbers
(in italics), states visited (in alphabetical order), participants’ names as they appear on labels (in italics),
and a link to a map of the collection localities. Howard S. Irwin was the team leader for field work from 1964 through 25 Jan 1972,
and William R. Anderson from 30 Jan 1972 through 1975. The collections were assigned numbers in the series of the team
leader, with one exception: from 30 Jan—18 Mar 1972, Anderson was team leader, but Irwin’s series was used to number the
collections (35072—37197).
