Assistant Curator of the University of North Carolina Herbarium

As of August 2007 the UNC Herbarium has catalogued approximately 325 specimens collected by Claire Newell. As cataloguing continues, more specimens will be found. Newell collected specimens while in graduate school at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She did vegetation surveys of three natural areas in the state: the Joyce Kilmer - Slickrock Wilderness, the Linville Gorge Wilderness, and the Shining Rock Wilderness. She used data from these studies for her doctoral thesis.
