Specimens collected near this place

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 431 specimens collected within 10 miles of Havana between 1885 and 1974: 233 Animalia, 166 Plantae, 18 Fungi, 14 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A. Woolman, Baumgartner, L. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
