@annaschieren If it helps/hurts, it's the New York Botanical Garden (in the Bronx)

@WSYherbarium It looks like Wm. Keston to me, but an H is totally possible. For the second I see T&G (Torrey & Gray), which as an author string might not make sense in this context so that's probably no help.

@PeterMoonlight The first word looks like Suisse to me (has the cursive long s)

Thanks for all the love everyone! Also funny that you saw this @socherbcurators - your society's sticker is in the drawer

I've taken up crafting diy miniature room kits & there are no museum-oriented kits. So I took a kit (kept the walls, desk, chair, lamp) and turned it into a herbarium workspace -- with a herbarium cabinet, plant press, hand lens, and other accessories. #HerbariumLife #Herbaria

[amy w. @slothandshrew]

The picture frames came with my base kit. I swapped out the art for photos for women in herbaria -- Elizabeth Britton, Alice Eastwood, Pat Holmgren.

I needed a mental break from work tasks this afternoon -- made a work-themed NY herbarium snowflake from scrap paper #HerbariumLife

Playing around with video while imaging #herbarium specimens today. Wish our lightboxes didn't make these horizontal lines when you try and photograph them... #HerbariumLife

Happy Friday. Here's my new favorite #herbarium label header. That font...😍 #HerbariumLife

@NYBG They also make lovely #herbarium specimens! https://t.co/XixYejoELq / https://t.co/UnvXITMyVT / https://t.co/l3NmmaeDkt

@jmheberling @socherbcurators We also store each of our type specimens in individual species folders, like at TENN, for that additional protection. My guess would be these might be used more widely if the collections are older, it would help protect the adjacent sheets if the mounting paper isn't acid free.

@PopulusEyedJo [in case you still need an answer] Fide is latin for according to, FNA probably means Flora of North America (although they could be the initials of a person)

[amy w. @slothandshrew]

These #herbarium specimens are wishing everyone some peace, love, and happiness. #Collections

@jmheberling I don't think it is commonly used, but I did come across monstrosity when looking into the type status of this specimen at NY: https://t.co/R864wmyuk0

@YorkshireMuseum A herbarium specimen of Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) collected on Christmas day with family members (https://t.co/exhmeNDB7k) #CuratorBattle #FestiveFinds

@TMMC Hey STELLaER!

[amy w. @slothandshrew]

@GenevieveTocci I know a curator at NY Harold Moldenke was a conscientious objector who was sent to Civilian Public Service camps in Ohio and Pennsylvania and was still collecting specimens while he was there. Comfort in the familiar I think.
