Grasses (Poaceae) can be found in all weather conditions around the world🌏
UK volunteers are cooling down with a new @KewScience expedition. For vols down in Oz, come and warm up instead with these new label tasks from the #KewDigiProject

[Eleanor le Jeune @Elle_James_]

We have two new expeditions of Poaceae (Grass) specimens up on the Kew DigiVol page!
@AMDigiVol Take a minute to cool down indoors and give transcribing a go!☀️#KewDigiProject @KewScience

Are you interested in botany? 🪷
Have you wondered how collections are stored and documented? 📜
Ever wondered what "spurge" means?

If you answered "Yes" to any or all of these, then come over to the new expedition from @RBGE_Herbarium !!

[RBGE_Herbarium @RBGE_Herbarium]

We are now starting a series of @AMDigiVol expeditions using these specimens.
The first of these is focussed on the Euphorbiaceae of Europe (Excluding Britian and Ireland) https://t.co/GKObxCnLC4
