#herbarium — Public Fediverse posts

Tag 12 der #Dienstreise in Sachen #Torfmoos war super: Die Unterlagen im Archiv der Royal Botanic Gardens #Edinburgh tragen sehr zum entstehenden Gesamtbild bei. Zudem hatte ich heute eine private Führung durch das #Herbarium der RBGE durch die für #Kryptogamen verantwortliche Kuratorin Dr. Heleen Plaisier (eingestielt durch die wunderbare Archivarin Leonie Paterson), die mich dort dem Bryologen Dr. Neil Bell vorstellte, der einen relevanten Literaturhinweis hatte. #networking #mehavingfun /27

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.

Ursprünglich wollte sie ja Botanik studieren: #RosaLuxemburg. Die Liebe zur Natur gab ihr immer Kraft, auch in den Jahren ihrer Haft. Ab 1913 bis 1918 legte sie ein umfängliches Herbarium an und füllte 16 Hefte. Viel zu Entdecken für alle Naturfreund:innen: https://dietzberlin.de/herbarium

🌿 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.

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.

800.000 Pflanzen aus aller Welt sind in unserem #Herbarium archiviert – darunter 15.000 Typusbelege, anhand derer Arten das erste Mal wissenschaftlich beschrieben wurden. Viele Exemplare sind jahrhundertealt. Eindrucksvoll, oder?

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 a curious specimen seen today on our class tour of the Allan Herbarium today in Lincoln. It's a giant *Ruppia* seed ball collected from Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere in Canterbury NZ. This large seed ball likely accumulated over many decades. It is an echo of a time before 1968 when the lagoon had clear water and aquatic plants like this grew along its floor stabilising the sediment. Everything changed in the Wahine storm of 1968 and the lagoon has been murky since.

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/

Here's a photo from our class tour of the Allan Herbarium today. This drawer contains some of the New Zealand native plants collected in 1769 on Captain Cook's first voyage around NZ. Shown here are the orchids *Earina mucronata* and *Winika cunninghamii* and the large sedge *Gahnia xanthocarpa*. When properly pressed and stored, dried plants can last essentially forever.

#botany #nz #herbarium #history

Today my Biological Diversity class at #LincolnUniversityNZ toured the Allan Herbarium at #ManaakiWhenua. It is NZ's largest pressed plant collection, a treasure trove of hundreds of thousands of botanical marvels.

Botanist Sue Gibb talked about how the herbarium works and showed us some amazing plants, including type specimens used to describe new species, extinct plants and first collections of new weeds, and some of the plants collected on Captain Cook's voyages.

Many climbing Aroids can be easily taken into cultivation by making a stem cutting. We do that sometimes when finding sterile specimens during floristic surveys, and make herbarium vouchers later when the inflorescences appear. However, one has to be patient ... This Syngonium from the inundated forest along the Caeté river in the coastal Amazon region was collected in 2018 and started flowering now.
