The start of botanical nomenclature and we're still publishing today. Names published by Linnaeus are searchable in IPNI beta.ipni.org/a/12653-1 along with a link to @BioDivLibrary to see the actual page
#Onthisday in 1753 ‘Species Plantarum’ by Carl Linnaeus was published. The work consistently applies the binomial nomenclature to plants.

A hortus siccus? #Botany and #horticulture go back a very long way. This is just part of a fantastic display put on by Gen Herb curator Jacek today for a tour looking at the relationship between gardening and taxonomic botany from the late 1600s to today.

Frances Harriet Henslow ~ daughter of Darwin's mentor John #Henslow and wife of Kew's former director Joseph Hooker ~ was born #OnThisDay in 1825. This bracelet of carved #peach stones was donated by her to the Museum of #EconomicBotany

Turns out there is a #Darwin quote for every occasion:
‘What a pity there cannot be 2 sets of men in our Government, one to do all the miserable squabbling & the other to attend to the real interests of the country.’ Charles Darwin writing to Thomas Henry Farrer, 23 October 1879

So many to choose from, but 'hamburger' seeds (Mucuna) have got to be on the list.
Fingers crossed, four-leaved clovers and white heather at the ready @CUBotanicGarden @Beverley_CUBG

Thrilled to have spent the afternoon at @CUHerb seeing specimens collected by Darwin, Wallace, Henslow and lots of others! Such a gem.

"The first purpose of a garden is to be a place of quiet beauty such as will give delight to the eye and refreshment to the mind" said Gertrude Jekyll.
It's as true today as it was then. #BlueMonday

Had my first experience of @CUBotanicGarden #RisingPath today. What a great piece of #Botanicgardens #Education and #Interpretation. #Taxonomy and #plant #Evolution symplified!
V nice to be back @CUBotanicGarden for a few days finishing up. This lovely lonely only-thing-in-flower Mandragora autumnalis is now stranded in the newly-cut Scroph bed and needs moving! P'raps get #solanaceae specialist @SandyKnapp up to do it! Or maybe Prof Sprout @MMargolyes
