.jpg "Specimen of Native Broom Collected by Banks and Solander — This specimen, now in the Dominion Museum, shows part of the original mount of heavy paper (the darker portion at edge) and the original British Museum label (right). This label states that the specimen was laid (mounted) in 1833 and gives the name now used, Carmichaelia australis (R. Brown, 1825), as well as, very faintly, Banks' and Solander's name, Genista compressa. The label on the left, written by Thomas Kirk in New Zealand, gives both names and states that Banks and Solander collected this specimen. Straps of gummed paper hold the specimen in place")
Searching
For several reasons, including lack of resource and inherent ambiguity, not all names in the NZETC collections are marked-up. This means that finding all references to a topic often involves searching. Search for Dominion Museum as: "Dominion Museum". Additional references are often found by searching for just the main name of the topic (the surname in the case of people).
