UC Berkeley graduate student Gabriel Trujillo killed while doing field research in Mexico, officials say

Gabriel Trujillo, a botanist who was a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Integrative Biology, was killed in the Mexican state of Sonora last week while doing field research, according to a statement from UC Berkeley obtained by San Francisco ABC station KGO on Friday.

Need some clueful #botanists to advise on this: it's a Valerian of some kind; but is it Marsh (V. dioica) or Common (V. officinalis)?

Note: I'm well north of reported range; but there's a garden nearby that used to belong to a florist...

#Botanists of #Mastodon, can you help me out? What is the name of this #plant? #Botanisten van Mastodon, kunnen jullie helpen? Hoe heet dit #plantje?

Hey, #botanists and other people who know plants; does anyone know what this is? It’s sprouted everywhere in one of my fauna gardens, but I’m pretty sure critters planted it, and not I. Some of them are quite tall.

#FungiFriday

A few shots taken last week. I don't think I've seen a green fungus before. Or is it some kind of moss?

Calling all #botanists.

Fellow #botanists, it's time to celebrate! #Taxonomist Appreciation Day is here. Let's recognize the invaluable contributions made by taxonomists and show our appreciation for their hard work! #TaxonomistAppreciationDay

20 yrs of data collection by botanists across the #UK has culminated in the new #BSBIAtlas of wild plants in the UK. Rock-on UK #Botanists! Go take a look!
"#BSBIAtlas2020 is now live, so check out this fabulous website: https://plantatlas2020.org
Find out which of these species👇 is doing well & which is declining - and why.

#Monkeyflowers glow in a rich assortment of colors, from yellow to pink to deep red-orange. But about 5 million years ago, some of them lost their yellow. #Botanists explain what happened genetically to jettison the yellow pigment, and the implications for the #evolution of species.

German botanist Karl Fuckel was born today on 3 Feb 1821. #Fuckel worked primarily on fungi. The grey-mold plant pathogen Botryotinia fuckeliana N.F. Buchw. was named for him. Yes, his author abbreviation really was what you think it was. In non-English-speaking countries anyway. #Botanists #OnThisDate

#OTD Aylmer Bourke Lambert, British #Botanist, is born.

In 1811, Alymer helped Frederick Pursh after he fled to England w/ specimens from the Lewis & Clark Expedition. The Americans were not happy.

With his #Library & #Herbarium, Aylmer became Pursh's #Botanical #Fairy godfather. But he had to periodically lock Pursh in his attic to keep him working & away from booze.

It took Pursh 2 yrs to complete the #Flora of North America - but he beat American #Botanists to the punch.

#January 26, 1943
#OTD Nikolai Vavilov, Russian #Botanist & #Plant #Geneticist, died of starvation at the Saratov concentration camp.

Meanwhile, Nikolai's team of scientists were held up inside the Russian #SeedBank, saving the precious repository from the 900-day siege of #StPetersburg. Placing the security of the world's seeds (some edible) over their own survival, some valiant #Botanists starved to death.

Today the seed bank honors Niko as the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources.

Alex #Floyd was the co-founded the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden in #Coffs Harbour. He is described by colleagues as "one of the great field #botanists of the day"

#botanists: can anyone recommend a good book for self-study of #plant #taxonomy? I have a colleague, a good field botanist, who would like to learn more about recognizing families, and taxonomic relationships at and above that level.

I have some good textbooks, but they're a little 'encyclopedic' in format, something more hands-on would be great if it exists?

Something like Agnes Chase' first book of grasses, but for plant families, would be fantastic!

Happy 521st Birthday to Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566)! German, physician, botanist and author of the sumptuously illustrated herbal, De Historia Stirpium Commentarii Insignes (1542), Fuchs is considered one of the three founders of modern botany. The genus Fuchsia would later be named in his honor by Charles Plumier. #Fuchs #Fuchsias #Herbals #Botanists #Plumier

Looking for a #plantid hopefully a nice easy one for the #botanists - this is in a village flower bed in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Is it #CrinodendronHookerianum? #botany #plantidentification #gardenersofmastodon
