Brassica campestris (Wild turnip), Plant Specimen from 1879 Herbarium Haitian landscape painting with the only challenge beingI 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 a seller with a nice bunch of them all by a N. N. Jones, and I just went back to her for a few more. This one is Brassica campestris, also known as Wild Turnip.
