The Reading University Museums and Collections are running the 52Museums account on Instagram this week. We are theming entries around the alphabet and will be showcasing artefacts from A to Z. The Herbarium is one of those collections and so far we have letter ‘C’ for Coco-de-Mer and letter ‘H’ for Holotype. We’ve illustrated this with Mapania multiflora, a new species of sedge discovered as part of the research of Zinnirah Shabdin while conducting her PhD at Reading.
