Description: | Content of collection: Angiospermae and Pteridophyta.
Henry Haselfoot Haines' India Collection of Higher Plants contains approximately 1000 sheets of specimens collected predominantly during the first two decades of the twentieth century. 105 families of flowering plants are represented in this collection, alongside 3 small boxes of ferns. The collection includes many Malvaceae, Tiliaceae, Leguminosae and Vitaceae specimens; in particular examples of Grewia, Acacia, Albizia and Vitis flowering plants.
Haines was assisted by D.O. Witt and Haslett during the collection of some of the specimens. Many of the specimens were collected from Jharkand, Maharashtra, Orissa, Utter Pradesh and West Bengal. Haines had the opportunity to collect many plants in India as he worked in the country for a long period of time, undertaking a variety of forestry positions, such as the Principal of the Imperial Forest College in Dehra Dun and Conservator of Forests in Bihar and Orissa. | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Address: | King's College,
