Check out this story of a rare plant specimen collection reaching Virginia Tech Herbarium from @NHM_Botany (@dr_norb), dating back to the 1840s. Amazing history! #botany (Dr. Jordan Metzgar @MasseyHerbarium serves as Book Editor for our journal, JTBS) news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

@TorreyBotanical @NHM_Botany @MasseyHerbarium I'm happy to see that the specimens arrived well and are appreciated. Rugel wanted to connect to US botanists (and did initially), but he was bound by contract to send everything to Shuttleworth.
