Any New Zealand #botanists, #ecologists or other folk involved with the #DSIR or the Department of Conservation know the full name of "D. J. Campbell"? wikidata.org/wiki/Q125495305 I'm having THE MOST FRUSTRATING AFTERNOON trying to track at least the first name of this person down!

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 !!

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) volunteer.ala.org.au/project…
