Hounds Tongue Plant Specimen from 1879 Herbarium sculptural handle but does show its ageI have a fantasy that one day at a flea market I'll uncover a beautiful antique herbarium that's been sitting in the bottom of a box for 150 years or so filled with page upon page of perfectly documented pressed and dried plant specimens. Alas, this has yet to happen, but I did recently find this and one other (listed separately) herbarium pages, I'd guess removed from a larger volume. This one is Hounds Tongue, a robust plant, as one can see (!),
