20(2) Huntia published
14 May 2025
In this issue of Huntia, as in life, it's all about the journey. E. Charles Nelson takes us on a final journey as he examines the scientific significance of Mary Delany's collages. R. B. Williams corrects the biographical record so that the Rev. William Allport Leighton can journey in peace. Coral Burgos-Soler, Miguel A. Pérez Farrera, Andre Naranjo and Javier Francisco-Ortega follow that intrepid plant explorer, David Fairchild, as he journeys into Mesoamerica. We issue a call for papers seeking new research to understand the journey of botanical artist John Tyley as we prepare for an exhibition of his artwork in 2027. If you're ready to take us on a new journey in the pages of our journal of botanical history, check out the topics and submission guidelines available on the Huntia page.
