“It’s an obscure but wonderful thing, these hundreds of thousands of specimens documenting biodiversity of the Earth — it’s amazing.”

"Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will combine their herbarium collections under the management of the North Carolina Botanical Garden, the universities announced Monday.
The arrangement ends two years of uncertainty over the fate of Duke’s 825,000-specimen herbarium collection, after the University said in February 2024 it could no longer afford to maintain the collection on its own."

RE: https://botany.social/@AnnBot/117190494938391492
"We emphasize the importance of maintaining botanical collections physically and digitally available for taxonomic work and advocate their use to accelerate taxonomic solutions of tropical species complexes hollistically. This is urgent, given the paucity of funds for fieldwork and unprecedented rates of habitat loss in the tropics."

I’ve started the Herbarium
My world is expanding, and with that expansion I need to focus for a week on native flora. Plants that would fit in explicitly in this fantasy world, but would have an analog to plants known on our own Earth, Terra (as I prefer Terra over Tellus). While designing these native plants, I may also have to create some more fauna to balance them out. For example; while creating more in-depth information on the "dawnberry" bush, I may have needed to find pollinators for the flowers. So...

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

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.
