Line 235 and following: if the Authors have in mind that three research questions should be answered (see above, these questions being set at the end of the Introduction), then this important part about the Recommendations should equally consider these three matters, namely the digitized plant types. In this regard, although there are major initiatives under way at the Smithsonian, Kew and a few others, the systematic scanning of herbarium specimens including the types is still behind schedule. Thus, there should be a specific recommendation to Herbaria, and not only in the “Global North”.
