21(2) Huntia published
17 September 2025
In this issue of Huntia we travel the world solving bibliographic and botanical mysteries. In "Equivalences of alternative series and numbering sequences on the variant title-pages of otherwise identical volumes of J. C. Loudon's The Gardener's Magazine (1826–1843)," R. B. Williams unravels bibliographic complexities. In "The eccentric Lutheran pastor 'Dr. Lippold' (1790–1852): From scandal in Germany to plant-collecting in Europe, Madeira and Brazil," Williams uncovers the true identity and life story of a man known mainly as a name on herbarium specimens. Don your deerstalker for this issue, the game is afoot!
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 and our call for papers about botanical artist John Tyley.
