@tomopteris It was common for botanists to collect sets of 100 specimens which they would often send home to sell off to interested parties in order to provide further funds for their field trips.

The Kew Research Repository has a collection of @kewscience publications freely available to download, including the Madagascar grass atlas, Genera Palmarum, Kew MSc dissertations and many journal articles kew.iro.bl.uk

"governance of lists of species must be separate from governance of names of taxa".... Important recognition that taxonomy is different from nomenclature! @NHM_Botany @IPNI_UK

@cabbageleek @Wikipedia Well done 🥳 Masculine it is!

#TuesdayTeaser No. 7 is another question of gender! This time, the genus Alectryon (Gaertn., Fruct. Sem. Pl. 1: 217. t. 46. 1788.). But we don't just want your guess on the gender today, we want your explanations too. Answer c. 15:30 BST #NomenclatureIsFun #Nomenclature

@botanistlaura Soz! The genus was masculine. Better luck next week 😉

@dr_norb @botanistlaura Well done! It is indeed masculine 🥳

@botanistlaura @IPNI_UK Alectryon rather sounds Greek to me. Google supports my hypothesis, and it must be male.
