Resource for deciphering handwritten botanical authors

  • osteophagia by osteophagia

    I ran across a handwritten entry with a difficult-to-read author notation, but with a little googling found that Wikipedia has a massive list of botanical author abbreviations:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_botanists_by_author_abbreviation

    My guess (A.Gray) checked against this list, so I thought it might be helpful to other transcribers out there!
