Had so much fun teaching middle schoolers about botany. They were enamored by how long specimens can last! I was very impressed with their insights on the importance of systematics. Also, not often that you get asked for your signature 😂🥹

Finally joined Bluesky, so to kick things off I will share my most recent publication on the resurrection of Cyrtandra kipahuluensis! Such a fun find and story to tell 🌱 phytokeys.pensoft.net/article/1554...
