The First Herbarium Collection from the South Arabian Coast? (2019)

unapi

Investigation of the provenance of a herbarium gathering of Kissenia arabica (Loasaceae) at the Natural History Museum, London, reveals it to be part of the likely earliest extant herbarium collection from the south Arabian coast. Gathered in 1781–1782, the collection was possibly made by the colourful John Oswald (c. 1760–1793).
