Acknowledgments
We dedicate this article to the memory of Professor J-N. Labat, former Head of the national Paris Herbarium (P). Although being an expert in morphological taxonomy himself, J-N. Labat was very much aware of the importance of developing and curating high-potential botanical collections including silica-dried material, and he strongly encouraged the use of all types of data to improve our knowledge and understanding of the worldwide flora. We are grateful to S.C. Brink, P.G. Wolf, and two
