Hello, and welcome to Herbarium Et Obliti!  For those of you who aren't Latin buffs (I'm certainly not), Et Obliti translates to 'of the forgotten'.  While not technically forgotten, the organisms featured on this blog are certainly out of the public eye when it comes to life on this planet.  Lately it seems, if you don't have four feet and a cute face, you don't matter.  False, of course.  Not only have some of these organisms been around as long as life, they hold the key as to why the world around us operates as it does. 

Technically, I'm starting this for a college lab, but I'm leaving it open afterward.  It would be fun to see what I could find. 

Happy Hunting, and feel free to fact-check.
