And fall. -Adelaide Crapsey

It's #FoldOutFriday and #FloraFriday , so we have a great book to share from our Children's Lit & Historical Textbooks Collection.

The 1885 'Text-Book of Structural and Physiological Botany' bills itself on the title page as containing about 600 woodcuts, as well as this map.

In honor of #FloraFriday I wanted to put together a visual abstract of our new paper just out in Diversity & Distributions Baiser Lab Dr. Emily Sessa 🌿🔬 Zach Siders
