I have a reasonable dataset, but getting it imaged would not be straightforward. I will make some enquiries at NHM. I also have good data for a late 19th century moss herbarium at Portsmouth Museum which also needs to go on gbif @portsmouthnh.bsky.social

Thank you! As soon as I saw you had liked the post I thought "I should have added Jane to wikidata"! The herbarium has barely been examined. I describe it in May's issue of Field Bryology and have partly listed its contents. Not sure how I would add details to gbif though...

‘Mosses and wandering lichens’, as Ruskin puts it in ‘The Poetry of Architecture’ (1837), ‘though beautiful, constitute a kind of beauty from which the ideas of age and decay are inseparable’.
This whole essay. I had no idea Victorians thought about lichen.
