In the summer of 2006, the Science Division at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh made the decision to change the classification system used in their collections of pressed and preserved plants from the modified Bentham and Hooker system to that published by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). As a result of that decision the Horticulture Division also decided to change its records and plant labels to the APG system. This paper describes the effect this had on the work of staff in both the Science and Horticulture Divisions as their collections had to be reorganized and relabelled to show the new family orders.
