Great workshop at #ASB2026. Vouchering plant specimens is slightly different from vouchering fish specimens but no less interesting. π #plants #herbarium

It's exciting to see more #herbarium specimens digitized.
We can now link vouchers to papers directly.
For example. Here's the link to the papers and the vouchers for my study of the rare grass Festuca longifolia.
The paper: shorturl.at/9hHMO
The vouchers: shorturl.at/vVUJe
Below is one of them

𫨠104 million specimens are estimated to sit in #herbarium backlogs worldwide.
A new study surveyed staff at 65 #herbaria about unaccessioned #specimens and #curation challenges. See the reasons and practical strategies for tackling backlogsπ

βLiving Book,β produced together with The Spatial J/U/S/T, invites us to rediscover the plants around us through the culture of herbarium. As a nature journal, it offers a creative space to document plants and deepen our awareness of the plant world.

Solanum bauerianum specimen
Many thanks to Andy Berger for showing us some of the magic of the 5-million-specimen #herbarium at the Natural History Museum, Vienna β including the type of the now-extinct Solanum bauerianum β¦ as well as their oldest accession from the mid-1600s.

We have a cool #herbarium in Dover at Delaware State University. We used to visit in winter with our #Pleinair group to paint from some of their collection. Really interesting to see all the beautiful preserved plants and all the historical notes on them. #artistatwork

This week I have been introduced to the wonders of mailmerge. Never again will I write out a herbarium label by hand! This took forever to set up but it populates the label from data downloaded from iNaturalist and manipulated in R.

The Planellas #Herbarium by JosΓ© Planellas Giralt includes 2,483 specimens, 1,654 of which feature locality data and are registered in @gbif.org. With most specimens originating from Galicia, Spain, this herbarium served as the foundation for the first systematic #flora of the region.

Type Specimens: ever wonder how a species is defined? Type specimens are used to describe a species and need to be referenced if someone thinks there should be a change. #naturalhistory #herbarium #taxonomy

A new word learnt in 2025 was "purloin" with earliest known use recorded in 1348, it developed a specific meaning of "stealing in a sneaky way" around the 16th century.
Check out this fascinating story of purloined #herbarium specimens at Kew Bulletin: doi.org/10.1007/s122...

The PlantSAM plant region detection and segmentation pipeline for herbarium images. Clockwise, starting at the top left: Each image is divided into patches, processed by YOLOv10 for plant region detection, and segmented by SAM. The segmented patches are then recombined to create a complete plant mask.

A herbarium sheet of a sedge-relative with a handwritten label in German Kurrentschrift.
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. #HerbariumLife #CuratorLife

A long wooden pedestrian bridge leads toward a large, multi-story red brick building. The bridge is lined with black metal railings and has dark, circular inlays in the wood planks. Several people are walking on the bridge, receding into the distance. The brick building features multiple windows, gabled roofs, and appears to be surrounded by trees and foliage. The sky is overcast and grey, suggesting a cloudy day. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Gemma3:27b
