William Kerr (d.1814) was a gardener at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. From 1803 he travelled to China, Java and the island of Luzon in the Philippines, sending back over 200 examples of plants new to European gardens #DUNA 4/5 https://t.co/MPq5NuLLrm

Frank Collier (1900-1964) kept several notebooks recording wildlife with descriptions and sketches. He was a Forest Officer and later Chief Conservator in Nigeria from 1923, but the notebook featured on #DUNA covers Northampton, Oxford and Cumberland: https://t.co/MPq5NuLdBO 3/5

The index to Solander's slip catalogue is a great introduction to transcription with its neat, regular handwriting. It contains lists of plant genus, based on Linnaeus’ Species Plantarum, which catalogued every species known at the time! 🌿🌱🌻 #DUNA 2/5 https://t.co/MPq5NuLLrm

Penblwydd hapus and happy birthday to the Welsh naturalist and travel writer Thomas Pennant, born #OnThisDay in 1726! Here he is a bit closer to his first birthday than we usually think of him...
