Old #herbarium sheets come with perks and challenges. I love to figure out what is written. For this particularly hard example, I got lucky because the collection was cited with the old species name in an old paper. It's "An der Lesum bei #Vegesack" in #Bremen, Germany. Could you have deciphered it?
The label is written in German #Kurrentschrift, an old style of handwriting. The long s in "Lesum" and the V and the k in Vegesack are unusual, and the first e rather looks like an "a". But there is no alternative at the Lesum river. Johann Otto Boeckeler is known to have collected in NW Germany.

🌿 NHG-Herbarium Nürnberg – über 200 Jahre alt und ein Schatz der Botanik!
Mit 60.000+ Belegen aus Deutschland und weltweit, digitalisiert seit 2000, u.a. die Roten-Liste-Arten Mittelfrankens.
Besonders prägend: August Friedrich Schwarz (1883–1915), dessen Sammlung noch heute das Rückgrat bildet. Trotz Kriegs- und Lager-Schäden bleibt es ein wertvolles wissenschaftliches Erbe.🔗 Mehr Infos: https://herbar.nhg-nuernberg.de/biodiv/NHG-Herbarium_202006.pdf

The harmonious regularity of the inflorescence of this #Earina valida #orchid from #NewCaledonia is beautiful, even in a #herbarium specimen. The plant must look spectacular in nature. #HerbariumLife #CuratorLife

I’m happy to present the twelfth title in my series of e-books designed for English language learners (and everyone who enjoys a good short story).
This one contains a non-fiction story “My Herbarium” by Anne Wales Abbot (1808-1908), originally published in her collection of prose and poetry works entitled "Autumn Leaves."
The e-book contains two pages of vocabulary exercises, as well as notes throughout the text, to help you with the more complex C1/C2 vocabulary.

Too much sun available? How about some sun prints with plants? I just discovered the (simple) secret for fixation of turmeric prints (turmeric is extremely light-sensitive): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05yT8-WquMw
These yellow prints work best in summer because they need light.
Other sun print techniques with water colour inks need warmth and can be done on radiators even in winter.

Here's another plant that we saw on our class tour of the Allan Herbarium today in Lincoln. This is New Zealand's extinct mistletoe, *Trilepidea adamsii*, from the North Island. This was the last specimen collected of this species, from 1954 in Maungakawa near Cambridge in the Waikato.
You can read more about this species on the NZ Plant Conservation Network's webpage: https://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora/species/trilepidea-adamsii/

CBS News: Project aims to digitize 2.3 million plants at California Academy of Sciences. “There is quite the photo shoot happening right now in Golden Gate Park, but instead of models, the muse of choice is a collection of leaves, branches, and dried flowers. This year, the California Academy of Sciences hopes to digitize its entire global botany collection that stretches back to the 17th […]

Throughout his career, he specialized in #liverworts and made many contributions to the Hepaticae genus Frullania. Here in the UTK #Herbarium, we have over 300 #specimens that Sinske Hattori collected himself and plenty more that have come from the Hattori Botanical Laboratory.

I had a good experience with #GBIF. A record from the Natural History Museum in London had stag-horn fern, Platycerium bifurcatum, present in Wellington, NZ, in 1933, "very common on rocks and cliff faces.” This species is only now starting to naturalise from Auckland garden plants.
I submitted a note and within days the senior curator of ferns at NHM emailed saying they'd corrected the mistake—it was in Papua New Guinea—and updated the species ID.

Fellow #herbarium curators and users: do appreciate getting loans returned with a fragment packet tucked in if material needed to be removed? Or is that more trouble that it's worth? Myself, I'd rather have the fragment packet.

We found our newest oldest #herbarium #specimen yesterday! A student came across this 𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘪 collected in Germany in 1819 while they were imaging for the #GlobalTCN project.
What's the oldest specimen in your #collections? -
#January 3, 1873
#OTD Mary Strong Clemens, #Botanist, is born.After her #Army #Chaplain hubby (Joseph) retired, they worked together.
Mary collected #Plants & Joe #Dried them for shipping.In 1936, Joe died in New Guinea.
Six days later, Mary signed off on a #Herbarium sheet for a local tree & then added these #Heartfelt & #Touching #Words:"It was under this #Tree that my #Soul's #Companion, for over 40 years of #Married life, #Bade me #Farewell for the higher life."

Please help us find our plants [and people]!
Also, does this place do hashtags?

#Museum30 Day 30 - ‘Why Museum 30?'
Why posting 30 things about #museums? Because museums are more than the #exhibitions people visit. Museums have many objects visitors usually don't get to see (for various reasons not because we wouldn't want to), aspects people usually wouldn't think and people wouldn't know about. The #herbarium in the #NHMLondon is one of the lesser known parts. I hope got to know 'us' a bit better. :)
Stay curious! -
#Museum30 Day 28 - ‘Walls'
Quite in contrast to the amazing terracotta walls of the Waterhouse Building (the old part of the #NHMLondon), the walls in the General #Herbarium are more practical: white painted concrete. Except for a few posters to guide the users through our geographical systematic arrangement of the collections, we don't have much decoration.
A bit more colour offer the walls in the open plan office. A soothing pale violet. -
#Museum30 Day 25 - ‘Candle'
Although it would make my working place much nicer, having candles in a #herbarium, a large collection of dry #plants, would be a bit of a safety issue.
We prefer things like specimens of the #candletree (#Senna alata) instead. It's called like that because it has bright yellow flowers in long-stemmed upright racemes that makes it look like a candles. The species is mainly distributed from Central to South America. -
#Museum30 Day 23 - ‘Collage'
#Herbarium specimens are made for #science or #teaching nowadays. However, having plant collections was something like a nice #hobby to show around in the past, maybe similar to collecting stamps, baseball cards or car models.
The #NHMLondon also has some of those collections, which have much more of an ornamental focus. Quite often, other material was added to make it look prettier, which then is like a #collage of beautiful #plants

How does plant #phenology and phenological sensitivity differ among continents? More importantly, how do differences in sensitivity affect plant-plant interactions? Read more in our new article in #NatureComms: https://nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34936-9!
This work, with coauthors Tara Miller, Christoph Rosche, Yong Yang, Mason Heberling, Sara Kuebbing, and Richard Primack, used #herbarium specimens to estimate the phenological sensitivity of spring ephemeral #wildflower flowering and canopy #tree #leafOut to 1/🧵

#Museum30 Day 21 - ‘View'
One exhibition at the #NHMLondon is the Coccoon where visitors can learn how #research is done. And they can even observe #researchers. #Herbarium guests (and staff) on the 5th floor are also part of the exhibition and sometimes can see kids waving their hands 👋. If you visited the Coccoon, have you ever wondered the view from the inside?
Here it is: -
#Museum30 Day 20 - ‘Bookshelves'
While #herbaria are usually single sheets with pressed #plants nowadays, originally they were #books with pressed #flowers. The #NHMLondon has more than 1300 volumes of such books and collection sets. You can browse the complete dataset here: https://doi.org/10.5519/swp7oysfWe featured some amazing examples from this dataset in the latest NHM blog (published today!): https://naturalhistorymuseum.blog/2022/11/20/when-is-a-book-not-a-book-the-bound-volumes-and-exsiccatae-in-the-herbarium-at-the-natural-history-museum-curator-of-botany/

#Museum30 Day 19 - ‘Location'
The #herbarium at the #NHMLondon has #plant collections from all over the world. However, the specimens are not equally distributed because not all areas are equally surveyed and we do have some foci. The #map is biased towards species with a #research focus (e.g. #Himalaya, Central America) and type specimens, and although only 5% of the specimens are georeferenced, there is already a trend: -
A little sample of our 7 million plus #herbarium specimens at Kew & a reminder that #botany is beautiful - in the preserved collection, as well as in the field
As well as our core support for #Taxonomy #Traits #Conservation research & #PlantHumanities many of the research questions to apply to this global #DataResource may be things we've not even considered yet...

#Museum30 Day 17 - ‘Origin'
The #herbarium in the #NHMLondon has actually two origins: The "original origin" are the collections of Sir Hans #Sloane: apothecary, physician, promoter of #smallpox #vaccination, #quinine use against malaria, and inventor of milk #chocolate.Decades later, the collections of British botanical imperial mastermind and world circumnavigator Sir Joseph #Banks were added, which laid the foundation of the main collection nowadays.

It's November, which is the month of #Museum30.
Day 1 - #Museum.
I'm working in the #herbarium at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum in #London. The #NHMLondon was split off the #BritishMuseum in 1881, which itself was born out of Hans #Sloane's (1660-1753) collections of plants, animals, coins, manuscripts, books, antiquities etc.
The natural history collections have a long and complex history. Almost 2 years ago, I wrote a short piece on the history of the NHM #herbaria: https://issuu.com/thevasculum/docs/vasculum_16.1/s/11551043
