Book excerpt: The collection of recent botanical paintings by the artists of the Florilegium Society at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney which link the historic Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander herbarium specimens to the Living Collections of the three Gardens of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust on the 250th anniversary of their botanical exploration during Captain Cook's voyage in HMB Endeavour. The intention is to draw attention to the time and place of their collection, inviting reflection on what they mean to science, to the Indigenous peoples, to those collecting them and to the Gardens now.
