#tulips Did you know where they were used as a famine food? What caused the variation in the tulip bulbs worth more than a house? Did #Rembrandt ever paint one? Repost from @nytimestravel of article written by SEB member @mastersmiss , who works on research @naturalismuseum , with photos by @andyhaslamphoto Read in full on @nytimes travel section #ethnobotany #springflowers #plantscience #bollenstreek #keukenhof #netherlands #visitholland🇳🇱 #flowers #flowerfields #tulipa #botany

At the 54th Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Biology held @woodshole_ocean Society for Economic Botany student committee member Aja Grande @mitpics doctoral student in the department of HASTS ( #history #anthropology #science #technology & #society ) presented a biographical paper on Dr Isabella Aiona Abbot, world renowned expert in Central and Pacific Algae, and Hawaiian #ethnobotany. Here is photo of Dr Abbot and a herbarium specimen of a seaweed that she collected on #Oahu and later classified as Acrosymhyton taylorri I.A.

Leafy diversity for sale on the market in Lijiang. There is the 'old market' in the pretty part of town for tourists. These are on the town market where local people shop. At the top is Chinese spinach (Amaranthus) , in the middle is mint, and at the bottom wild fern fronds. photo from @mastersmiss #leafygreens #ethnobotany #sebstudents #studyethnobotany #traditionalfood #greens #eat #yunnan #ptyxis #ferns #foraging

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is a popular North American forest herb in high demand for its antimicrobial properties and is used primarily today to treat intestinal ailments. It gets its common name from the combination of the bright golden appearance of the rhizome - due to the presence of the alkaloid berberine - and the scars left on the rhizome from previous year's shoots that resemble old wax seals. Photo from Society for Economic Botany student committee member Grady Zuiderveen who is studying goldenseal chemistry and genetics for his PhD at @agsciences p.s. if you are interested in conservation of medicinal plants native to the USA and Canada also have a look at @unitedplantsavers #ethnobotany #medicinalplants #goldenseal #conservation #wildlifetrade #studyethnobotany #sebstudents #plantmedicine #goldenseal #berberine #pharmacognosy #ethnopharmacology #roots #medicinalroots

Orchid show season and some of those beautiful plants are edible and medicinal, but don't eat the exhibitions (their creators won't be happy). Student rep Susanne Masters @mastersmiss was on @bbcsouthnews talking about medicinal use of orchids in a prelude to the Bournemouth Orchid Society show this weekend. #orchids #ethnobotany #flowersofinstagram #medicinalplants #traditionalmedicine #pharmacognosy #tcm #plantmedicine

What are "Effects of climatically shifting species distributions on biocultural relationships"? See Society for Economic Botany student committee member Matthew's publication in #openaccess journal 'People and Nature' from @BritishEcolSoc . They focused on Kūmarahou (Pomaderris kumeraho) a shrub whose leaves and flowers are used medicinally, and Kuta (Eleocharis sphacelata) a sedge used for weaving - two culturally significant species used by Māori people of New Zealand. They generated future climate suitability maps and compared them to estimated species models of current distributions, and assessed vulnerabilities to climate change. Authors on this were: Matthew O. Bond, Barbara J. Anderson, Te Hemo Ata Henare, & Priscilla M. Wehi. Super illustration of their research by @holljmck and the second image we are sharing is their Kuta suitability map. Matthew is working on his PhD @UHmanoanews #UHmanoa and is on @NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. #climatechange #ethnobotany #maoriculture #traditionalknowledge #traditionalecologicalknowledge #studyethnobotany #sebstudents #usefulplants #medicinalplants #sedges
