DESCRIPTION:We often write histories from the perspective of h
 umans and\, as such\, create connections through i
 nstitutional collections from this purview. Howeve
 r\, instead of creating links through people\, wha
 t would happen if we initiated a search tethered t
 o and centred around the plant? In this presentati
 on\, I situate the botanical species as the nuclei
 c instigator of meaning-making within Cambridge's 
 collections. From botanical art at the Fitzwilliam
  Museum to living and preserved specimens at the C
 ambridge Botanic Garden and Herbarium\, I follow t
 he story of one plant to exercise its agency withi
 n these collection networks: namely\, the Amarylli
 s belladonna L.
