Fragments from the Botanical Frontier:

RAILROADS
Muehlenbach at work, probably 1969. Missouri Botanical Garden collections.

Muehlenbach's work is all the more amazing given that he spoke English only as his second language. If his earlier notes and drafts show evidence of the extra work of negotiating a new language, this letter from 1978 shows that he remained fluent in his native Latvian language. Missouri Botanical Garden collections.

Seed spillage, probably 1969. Missouri Botanical Garden collections.
