Using scanning electron microscopy and molecular data to discover a new species from old herbarium collections: The case of Phlomoides henryi (Lamiaceae, Lamioideae).
is one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae with approximately 150–170 species distributed mainly in Eurasia. In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species, , which was previously misidentified as , from Yunnan Province, southwest China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that is found within a clade in which... -

Ancient DNA genomics and the renaissance of herbaria.
Herbaria are undergoing a renaissance as valuable sources of genomic data for exploring plant evolution, ecology, and diversity. Ancient DNA retrieved from herbarium specimens can provide unprecedented glimpses into past plant communities, their interactions with biotic and abiotic factors, and the genetic changes that have occurred over time. Here, we...Burbano, Hernán A. ; Gutaker, Rafal M.

Status, typification, and synonymy of some early names for South Asian and Oceanian plants proposed in Urtica or in other genera now in the Urticaceae.
L.f., the basionym of the currently accepted name (L.f.) Chew, and L.f., were both published in 1782 by Linné filius in and are here lectotypified with specimens from original material collected by Thunberg on Java. After its publication, has only been cited as a synonym of , but that is...Friis, Ib ; Wilmot‐Dear, Christine Melanie ; Moore, Alison

Herbarium specimen sequencing allows precise dating of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri diversification history.
Herbarium collections are an important source of dated, identified and preserved DNA, whose use in comparative genomics and phylogeography can shed light on the emergence and evolutionary history of plant pathogens. Here, we reconstruct 13 historical genomes of the bacterial crop pathogen pv. ( ) from infected herbarium specimens. Following... -

Between Metropole and Province: circulating botany in British museums, 1870–1940.
Exchange of duplicate specimens was an important element of the relationship between metropolitan and regional museums in the period 1870–1940. Evidence of transfers of botanical museum objects such as economic botany specimens is explored for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and six museums outside the capital: Cambridge University Botanical Museum,... -
