Samphires, samphires
So, a few years ago I was trundling around the Eyre Peninsula collecting photographs of samphires for a new book (Samphires of the Eyre Peninsula). At the same time, I vouchered several species that were of particular interest - some odd forms of Tecticornia halocnemoides, and new records of species not well known locally, some species I had no photographs of...
When I voucher, as well as placing a field tag on the specimen, I record the field data on my Eco:Maps app on my phone. And it snaps a shot of the plant that I am vouchering. The photos I have put up of these EP samphires, therefore, are all tied back to vouchers held in the Adelaide Herbarium. If you need to visit those vouchers at any time, let me know and I can give you the field voucher number, BDBSA Survey number and and observer number, which will allow you to locate them in the herbarium.
The Eco:Maps photos are not always ideal from an identification point of view, but there are additional photographs of the diagnostic features of each of these species in the book.
