A number of the algae samples were collected by Bridgeport resident, Issac Holden and processed for Francis Drouet who had one of the largest international collections of algae samples in the world.  Drouet ultimately founded the National Herbarium in the Washington D. C. area which is also part of the Smithsonian Institute.
