Abstract

A database has been developed for the collections of wild and cultivated potatoes examined by the author in the world herbaria and in his own collections. A total of some 9,000 collections were examined, amounting to approximately 27,000 herbarium sheets when duplicates in different herbaria were taken into account. The information is arranged in twenty-one fields and the system used is DBase IV, version 1.1. 15.00 (including postage and packing) by applying to the author at the above address. Sterling cheques should be made payable to J.G. Hawkes.
