There may be no better way to learn about the history of botany and herbaria than through the lens of the former director of the second-largest herbarium in the world, Dr. Barbara M. Thiers. Thiers was no stranger to plant presses and herbarium cabinets when she became director, as she was the daughter of the herbariumcurator and founder of the Harry D. Thiers Herbarium at San Francisco State University. In Herbarium, Thiers expertly delivers centuries of botanical history from various geographies around the world.

Thirteen distributional records from Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas are reported for seven native and five non-native plant species, many based on course-related collections by students. These include state records for three taxa: Cyperus brevifolioides and Paspalum dilatatum for Kansas, and Sphaeralcea parvifolia for Idaho. We also report ten county records, including significant range extensions for Dinebra panicoides. We also report what we believe to be pseudovivipary in Setaria pumila.

Astrophytum mirum Halda & Panarotto has a stem morphology that agrees with that of an anomalous growth form of Astrophytum myriostigma subsp. tulense discovered in culture. The flower of A. mirum is indistinguishable from the flower of subsp. tulense. The type locality of A. mirum, now restricted to Mamaleón, Tamaulipas, is situated in the habitat of subsp. tulense. Alleged differences in seed size and root morphology between the two taxa are not confirmed as no examples were preserved with the type material. The conclusion is drawn that Astrophytum mirum Halda & Panarotto is a junior synonym of Astrophytum myriostigma subsp. tulense Kayser.

Research conducted in the Archive and Library of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, the U.S. National Archives, and the U.S. National Herbarium allowed us to reconstruct field work performed by David Fairchild (1869–1954) in the islands of Beata, Saona, Tobago, Tortola, and Trinidad in 1932. This was part of a larger expedition to the Caribbean Islands, Suriname and Guyana by the United States Department of Agriculture between December 1931 and April 1932. During the collection endeavor to these five islands, 261 photographs were taken, 82 herbarium collections (75 species) were made, and 185 germplasm accessions (148 species) were added to the USDA germplasm repositories. In total, plant material for 185 species (224 collections) was collected. A major highlight of the trip were the herbarium collections that led to the description of the Beata endemic genus Armouria (Malvaceae). However, more recent taxonomic studies place this genus within the tropical genus Thespesia (~13 species). Thirteen distinguished naturalists or high ranking government officers were met in Trinidad (12) and Tortola (1). Collections of cotton (6 accessions) and palms (25 accessions) were relevant to the expedition objectives; however no samples of Sea-Island Cotton were obtained, despite this being a major germplasm objective. Exploring the Botanic Garden of Trinidad was another main highlight of the trip. Documents, photos, and research results are made available online at: www.archive.org. The project is framed within an undergraduate research program on botanical history that is being performed in partnership with botanists from national and foreign institutions. Part of the collected material was introduced into the Jardín Botánico de Cienfuegos, Cuba shortly after the expedition ended.
费尔柴尔德热带植物园档案馆和图书馆、美国国家档案馆和美国国家植物标本馆进行的研究使我们能够重建大卫·费尔柴尔德（1869–1954）1932年在比塔岛、萨奥纳岛、多巴哥岛、托托拉岛和特立尼达岛进行的实地工作。这是美国农业部在1931年12月至1932年4月期间对加勒比群岛、苏里南和圭亚那进行的一次更大规模的探险的一部分。在这五个岛屿的采集工作中，共拍摄了261张照片，收集了82个植物标本馆（75个物种），并将185份种质资源（148个物种）添加到美国农业部种质库中。总共收集了185个物种（224个收藏品）的植物材料。这次旅行的一个主要亮点是植物标本馆的收藏，这导致了对Beata特有属Armouria（锦葵科）的描述。然而，最近的分类学研究将该属归入热带的Thespesia属（~13种）。13位杰出的博物学家或高级政府官员在特立尼达（12人）和托托拉岛（1人）会面。棉花（6份材料）和棕榈树（25份材料）的收藏与探险目标有关；然而，尽管这是一个主要的种质目标，但没有获得海岛棉的样本。探索特立尼达植物园是此行的另一大亮点。文件、照片和研究结果可在线访问：www.archive.org。该项目是与国内外机构的植物学家合作开展的植物史本科生研究项目的框架。探险队结束后不久，部分收集到的材料被引入了古巴的西恩富戈斯城堡（Jardín Botánico de Cienfuegos）。

Two taxonomic and nomenclatural issues in Lithospermum are addressed. The new combination L. thurberi based on Onosmodium thurberi is made, and L. macromeria (Macromeria viridiflora) is included as a heterotypic synonym. Lithospermum bejariense and Onosmodium bejariense are treated here as two distinct taxonomic entities.

Field searches in 2021 resulted in rediscovery of the pea-fruited hawthorn, Crataegus pisifera Sarg. (C. succulenta var. pisifera (Sarg.) Kruschke), a Vermont endemic known with confidence only from the type collections made in 1901. Collections made throughout the 2021 growing season from the type locality and from new populations nearby confirm its continued presence on the Vermont landscape. Additional morphological characterization is presented and deviations from the original description are discussed. Mature fruits in late October measured 7.2–11.2 mm in diameter, averaging 9.2 mm, larger than the immature fruits described in the literature. Thus, fruit diameter fails to separate C. pisifera from closely related C. succulenta varieties. We present a key, the first range map, and the first published illustrations of this long-lost species; we also include a second-step lectotypification that clarifies which of two available herbarium sheets is the one to be regarded as the lectotype.

Based on study of herbarium specimens, Cyperus rosattii is described as a new species from Venezuela. Known from a single collection from the Orinoco lowlands, it appears to be most similar to Cyperus swartzii and C. aggregatus. Similarly, Cyperus gonzaleziae is described as a new species from eastern Mexico (coastal region of Veracruz); it appears to be most similar to C. pallidicolor and C. regiomontanus.
