Long-overlooked documents housed at London’s Natural History Museum testify to the exchange of information between 18th-century European botanists and their Indigenous counterparts. bit.ly/4qNda3i

Celebrating 200 years since John Stevens Henslow became Professor of Botany at Cambridge.
It's almost 200 years to the day since Henslow took an oath before the Vice Chancellor as 'King's Reader in Botany' on 10 Oct 1825.
