A fantastic (if a tad chilly) seaside walk with this lovely bunch today. A cheeky practice for the BSBU #NewYearPlantHunt. We didn't find too much but it was nice to see Wild Cabbage and some new faces! 🌱🔎

By 1920, #Malaya produced over half the world's rubber.
And to think it all started with #Seeds Henry collected from 22 #Plants...

#OTD Howard Scott Gentry, American #Botanist, is born.
The world's leading authority on #Agaves, Howard went to #Mexico every year to collect #specimens & traveled via #Mule.
The #USDA pursued #Agave & #Wild #Yam #Family to make #Arthritis #Medicine.
Howard once said:
I refused several times to become a desk man for USDA. It was a chance to cut out all the #Travel, but I told them,
"No, not me. I want to work with #Plants, not people. People are problems."
