The Hu Card Index is a file of 158,844 cards for
Chinese plant names produced by
Dr. Hu Shiu-ying
(Arnold Arboretum
of Harvard University).
The Hu Card Index was prepared in the early 1950s when the Arnold Arboretum undertook a project to prepare a flora of China. Dr. Hu, working with a staff of four or five persons, searched all botanical literature (1753-1955) to locate all names that had ever been used for plants of China.
