Great news for those who mourn the passing of botany courses. Henslow’s groundbreaking five-week course from 1827 was the inspiration for Charles Darwin to be able to take Henslow’s place on the voyage of The Beagle. Cambridge are to offer a 4-week course using archive material.

Lianas are beautiful too! Transverse sections reveal the patterning of xylem tubes, reflecting how so much stem space is devoted to transporting water skyward.

The world class Kew Herbarium was established by two of the most ‘top tier’ botanists in the world who really knew what they were doing: William Hooker and his son Joseph Hooker. Can’t question them unless you, yourself, are of their calibre; very few, if any, are. #Respect
