A safer insecticide for herbarium use

Pyrethrins, the active ingredients of the insecticide pyrethrum, are very effective in killing insects but are quite harmless to mammals. When combined with silica gel to form Drione powder, they can be applied inside herbarium cases for long-term protection against insects. Preliminary tests at the New York Botanical Garden have shown that Drione powder or aerosol spray readily kills anobiid beetles. Drione has potential as a safer alternative to dangerous chemicals that have been used in the past.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF GALAPAGOS BOTANY. SUPPLEMENT I

This supplement to a bibliography published in 1973 lists 112 new references on Galápagos botany. The availability of accurate information in a new flora of the Galápagos Islands has brought about an increase in botanical research. Very little new work has been done on cryptogams. Many recent studies concentrate on ecology and conservation of the unique Galápagos plants.
