Lack, H. W.: The Sibthorpian Herbarium at Oxford - guidelines for its use. - Taxon 46: 253-263. 1997. - ISSN 0040-0262.
The Sibthorpian Herbarium is a historical collection kept in the Fielding-Druce Herbarium, Oxford, comprising vascular and non-vascular plants formerly owned by J. Sibthorp. This paper deals with the c. 2700 specimens of vascular plants, most of which originate from modern Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, Bulgaria, and Rumania, having been collected by J. Sibthorp, J. Hawkins, their assistants and an anonymous apothecary in 1786-1798. Annotated in a fragmentary way, the Sibthorpian Herbarium comprises several hundred specimens that typify names validated in J. E. Smith's Prodromus florae graecae. Recommendations for the interpretation of the entries into this work and guidelines for the use of the Sibthorpian Herbarium are presented.
