Looking through #Acanthaceae specimens today, I found this wonderful combination of pressing and painting. No collector name, no collection date. Does anyone recognise the handwriting? @Nat_SCA @Aristolochia @RBGE_Herbarium @HerbariumDonna @WSYherbarium @archivesgb

Job done! The last remaining grey cabinets are cleared, packed and ready to go to Edinburgh Botanic Garden. I'm looking forward to seeing these in their new home later in the year. @TheBotanics @ol1grace @botanyRNG @ReadingBioSci
#HerbariumBarbie has plans for the floor space.

#Herbarium cabinets being dismantled. It's amazing how much dust can accumulate between closely stacked cabinets - how does it get in there? @Nat_SCA @TheBotanics The cabinets will help @TheBotanics manage their growing collection now that we've moved to Solander boxes. #reuse

We have separated these ferns from the general collection to help minimise wear and tear. They are mounted on paper rather than card.

#AdventBotany #AdventBooks Day 18 Chosen by Julie Hawkins @ReadingBioSci Plant Form has surprisingly little in the way of reviews, I don't think this one does it justice: https://t.co/cxs78N2QRM Further plant morphology links at https://t.co/bvaKaQWJNj 2/2

#AdventBotany Day 18 Chosen by Julie Hawkins @ReadingBioSci Adrian Bell's 'Plant Form. An Illustrated Guide to Flowering Plant Morphology' is top of my planty books list. It's a beautiful book and an inspiration for anyone wanting to take a closer look at plant morphology. 1/2
