Please help solve a botanical mystery--who is this #botanist and what plant is he holding? This #portrait is held by the Allen Art Museum at Oberlin College, and was apparently painted in 1629. Really hoping the greater botanical #taxonomy community can help, so please repost! #botany #plants

Important new study about gypsum ecosystems in Campeche, Yucatán Peninsula, México—a country that never ceases to amaze. Gypsum in tropical forests, with two likely gypsophile plants as well, including a Lantana!
