Linnean Learning

Every month Padma, our Events and Communications Manager, will highlight a historical object, personality or quirky tale from our Collections as the "Pick of the Month" episode. The full stories can be found on our website in “News” section. We hope that these short narratives will serve as trailers to the longer essays that are meticulously researched put together by our Collections staff. This month Padma goes in search of Edmond Albius (1829–80), who ought to be remembered and honoured for his critical contribution to the production of vanilla - a plant many of us know, love and can't do without!
