1930’s Herbarium from Northampton County, Pennsylvania Collected By Nevin Bossard From my collection of old herbariums and pressed flower books, I offer this old gem found in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The flora contained therein was collected by Nevin Bossard (b.1915) who, according to research, was 15 at the time of collection. They are all dated May, 27, 1930 so we can assume that he was tasked to go out and find as many specimens he could collect on that one day. It consists of 29 specimen pages and 4 blanks. There is an index of the species contained inside, however pages 14, 25, 27 and 28 are missing and have been replaced (by Nevin) with native fern species. There are also additional pressed and dried species that were found wrapped in tissue inside the book that one can assume were meant for mounting and identification, but Nevin never got to them. I am sending them along as I found them, as I consider them to be an integral part of this herbarium's history. The binder measures 8 by 10 inches and is about 1/2 inch thick when closed. Condition is very good on the specimens with very minor signs of a chip or lost piece on one or two. I did replace the frayed and shredded ribbon binder tie that fell apart when I opened the book with a later piece of jute string. Please see photos as they are part of the description. My only commentary on Nevin's process is that he did not state exactly where he collected each specimen. On the line for "locality" he simply inked "fields" instead of place, as "fields" should have been written on the "habitat" line below. Since his obituary states he was born in Danielsville, PA we can assume he collected his finds in that area. At any rate, these collection books provide us with a window to the natural history of an area at a given point in time. They are valuable resources for naturalists, botanists and gardeners. The pages can also be framed and hung (without harm) as a collection, making for an overall powerful and stunning display.

Scale cube=1cm: Full sizing please see photo All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity! Specimen: Pecopteris and Neuropteris Age: Carboniferous Location Found: Pennsylvania, USA Fossil ferns, specifically Pecopteris and Neuropteris, offer captivating glimpses into the lush landscapes of ancient Pennsylvania during the Carboniferous period. These ferns, preserved as fossils, provide invaluable insights into the flora that flourished over 300 million years ago. Pecopteris and Neuropteris belonged to the extensive family of ferns that dominated the Carboniferous forests. These ferns were characterized by their delicate fronds and intricate leaf structures, which contributed to the verdant tapestry of the era. Pecopteris, with its fan-shaped fronds and distinctive branching patterns, was one of the most prevalent genera, while Neuropteris displayed more elongated, lance-shaped leaves with finely divided pinnules. During the Carboniferous period, Pennsylvania was part of a vast tropical swamp ecosystem, known as the Carboniferous coal forests. These forests were teeming with a diverse array of plant life, including towering tree ferns, lycopsids, horsetails, and seed ferns, all of which contributed to the formation of extensive coal deposits. The preservation of Pecopteris and Neuropteris fossils in Pennsylvania provides researchers and enthusiasts alike with a window into the past, allowing them to reconstruct the ancient landscapes and ecosystems of the region. By studying these fossils, scientists can piece together the evolutionary history of ferns and gain insights into the environmental conditions that shaped the Carboniferous world. Fossil ferns like Pecopteris and Neuropteris serve as reminders of the dynamic nature of Earth's history and the interconnectedness of past and present ecosystems. They stand as testament to the enduring legacy of life on our planet and the remarkable adaptations that have allowed plants to thrive and evolve over millions of years. ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions so this listing will change after you purchase.

Book Synopsis Pennsylvania, a state of diverse geography and geology, is rich in flora. The second edition of The Plants of Pennsylvania identifies the nearly 3,400 species of trees, wildflowers, ferns, grasses, sedges, aquatic plants, and weeds native to or naturalized in the Commonwealth. Retaining the clearly written identification keys and descriptions that made the first edition such an essential reference, this new edition has been reorganized to reflect recent advances in our understanding of plant relationships. Families and genera are listed in a sequence determined by current studies of plant molecular genetics, thus providing new insights for the study of botany. In addition, species have been added to the book as a result of new discoveries. The botanical illustrations of Anna Anisko continue to complement the descriptions and add an element of beauty to the volume. Developed in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Flora Project, and compiled by botanists at the Morris Arboretum, the official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the second edition of The Plants of Pennsylvania is the authoritative guide to Pennsylvania's plant life. It will be indispensable to taxonomists, conservationists, ecologists, foresters, land planners, teachers, agricultural county agents, students, and amateur naturalists.
