We are working on the taxonomic revision of the genus Morus (family Moraceae). Can you share one photo of a fruiting branch of mulberry or herbarium specimen from your area, (and its Latin name to the best of your knowledge)? Getting local or regional knowledge is important for the taxonomic revision of the genus Morus with its species distribution worldwide. We will acknowledge your contribution to our work. Thanks in advance.
You are finalizing taxonomic revision of the genus Morus. Then why you are asking about its Latin name? You must be knowing about the scientific names of at least all the species growing in your area.
If you want images of relevant herbarium sheets you should request the Correspondents of the respective herbarium. Many herbaria have already provided the images online. For example K, P, G, E, etc.
Dear Subir Bandyopadhyay , thank you! We have recognized several taxonomic confusions in North America. Knowing how the species are recognized is key to address taxonomic issues.
Dear Subir Bandyopadhyay , Thank you! I am finding this platform easier and more efficient to communicate (in this case with the herbarium curators and collection managers). Getting their current knowledge and resources is key to the taxonomic knowledge of the taxon like Morus with worldwide distribution. I am aware of the online resources made available by many great herbaria. Thank you again for the suggestion.
Thanks Subir Bandyopadhyay . It is very relevant and greatly appreciated.
