🔥Sorting and correctly identifying herbarium specimens is essential for effective flora and fungi conservation. We need more botanists working in our herbarium vaults to better understand what species we have, where they grow, and how rare they are👇

Our revision of the gorgeous Geleznowia (Rutaceae) genus is finally done... it has been a long road. Thanks to @bmichanderson and others for a great team effort and to @PlantsAus and @BioplatformsAus for support. publish.csiro.au/SB/SB23010
There are so many undocumented species awaiting discovery in herbaria and museums, including several new triggerplants I’ve unearthed at the Northern Territory Herbarium in the past 2 weeks. More taxonomists please👇
"Many new species are only now being discovered because they’re rare, isolated, or both — factors that also make them easier to wipe out". Thank you @katarinazimmer @undarkmag for highlighting the urgent need to catalog the worlds biodiversity. undark.org/2023/05/29/dis…
