Solanum cheesmaniae Kew herbarium sheet was prepared by Charles Darwin on Chatham Island, Galapagos, in September 1835 during the voyage of HMS Beagle. The presence of the Kew barcode indicates that the sheet has been digitized. The note in Darwin's handwriting, "Solanum?" shows that he correctly but tentatively identified the genus. The sheet is date-stamped Kew Herbarium 1867, and the modern species name was determined in 2002 by Iris Peralta, Sarah Darwin, and Sandra Kemp.

Royal Botanic Gardens

London, Great Britain

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Royal Botanic Gardens boast extensive, historic, and stunning landscapes that showcase important periods of garden and landscape art from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Known as Kew Gardens, this remarkable site features a plant collection unmatched anywhere in the world.

A Royal Legacy of Plant Diversity

Since their establishment as a royal estate in 1759, Kew Gardens have played a vital role in the study of plant diversity and economic botany. Spanning 120 hectares (300 acres), the gardens stretch over 1.5 km (0.9 mi) in length, offering a vast and diverse exploration of flora.

Glasshouses and Exotic Species

The gardens are home to impressive glasshouses, a conservatory, and a range of installations, including buildings, art, and exotic plant species. One of the highlights is the Temperate House, which reopened in May 2018. It stands as the largest surviving Victorian glass structure in the world, offering visitors a glimpse into a world of temperate climate plants.
