Linnaean Herbarium

I just finished reading the lead, and I must say, you have done well! I look forward to reading the entire article. It's hard to believe we didn't have one already! – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 01:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I was also surprised that we didn't have an article on this. I general, I think it would benefit the encyclopedia to have more articles on herbaria. Esculenta (talk) 14:42, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I agree! – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 04:59, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

This discussion has led me to add another side project to my already massive to-do list, thanks :) ... ChatGPT has assured me that these are the ten most notable herbaria with sufficient existing literature to create substantial articles. Esculenta (talk) 05:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh my. Umm, you're welcome?

Some of these might be embedded within the articles of their parent institutions.

These may help (or hurt): List of herbaria, List of herbaria in Europe, List of herbaria in Oceania, List of herbaria in North America, and List of herbaria in Turkey.

I'd like to see an article on TORCH – The Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria. It has what I have found to be a very useful data portal. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 06:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

RE: Drepanolejeunea senticosa collection date

Hi there! Excellent work on Drepanolejeunea senticosa, I hope you don't mind the formatting changes I've made. It's great to see another person interested in liverworts! I just wanted to reach out to discuss the collection date for the D. senticosa type specimen - you had it listed in the article as 1860, however, on reading Bischler's description I could find no mention of when the type was collected (she lists it as s.d., "without date"). I've removed it for now, but if you can remember where you found 1860 mentioned please feel free to put it back. Thanks for your hard work, looking forward to reading the other articles you've expanded :) Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 06:17, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I found the source I got that date from and added it back. I'm mostly a lichen person, but have recently decided I should learn more about the other cryptogams that are lurking when I'm looking for lichens. I'll be switching over to peat mosses for the next batch of plant stub expansions. Esculenta (talk) 06:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Plantae Barnstar
		For all your excellent bryophyte work! I especially love what you've done with Trichocolea tomentella - such a common and widespread species certainly deserves a detailed article and you did a fantastic job expanding it. Reviewing your articles for WP:PLANTSSTS has been a lot of fun :) Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk

Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 02:52, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Given there are relatively few liverwort articles on Wikipedia compared to the overall 60,000+ plant stubs, I think this STS drive will have a particularly positive impact on this corner of Plantae. I think you'll also enjoy seeing the peat moss articles when you get to them - it's remarkable how stubby they were before, especially given the extensive literature available on them. Esculenta (talk) 03:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm very much looking forward to those! I'm not particularly familiar with Sphagnum (I've only encountered it in the wild once and never managed to key it out to species) so I'm excited to learn :) Ethmostigmus 🌿 (talk | contribs) 03:48, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
