[[Hi, yes, I've read the instructions too. Sometimes the cards use an acronym for an institution instead of the actual herbarium code.
Herbarium codes don't normally use periods or spaces. For this card, that code would look like "UM", not "U. M."
I did extra research and figured out that, on this card, "U. M." probably stands for "University of Michigan" (code MICH). @thatkarenb]]
