I had a good experience with #GBIF. A record from the Natural History Museum in London had stag-horn fern, Platycerium bifurcatum, present in Wellington, NZ, in 1933, "very common on rocks and cliff faces.” This species is only now starting to naturalise from Auckland garden plants.

I submitted a note and within days the senior curator of ferns at NHM emailed saying they'd corrected the mistake—it was in Papua New Guinea—and updated the species ID.

Precious cargo of canasteros from Peru is out of quarantine. 🥳 Genetic samples already sequenced but these wings need to be photographed for estimations of flight performance. Data galore. #museomics #biodiversitydata #Furnariidae
