content: Some small cobs and kernals were lent to Alan P. Covich of Yale University, Osborn Botanical Laboratory, New Haven, Connecticut in May 1965. The specimens were presumed lost after subsequent unsuccessful attempts to contact the borrower and get the loan returned. Then in 2004 the Collections Manager of the Botany Division, Yale University Peabody Museum of Natural History found the specimens during reorganization at the museum. The loan was returned to the Museum Support Center in June 2004.
