DESCRIPTION:We often write histories from the perspective of humans and\, 
 as such\, create connections through institutional collections from this p
 urview. However\, instead of creating links through people\, what would ha
 ppen if we initiated a search tethered to and centred around the plant? In
  this presentation\, I situate the botanical species as the nucleic instig
 ator of meaning-making within Cambridge's collections. From botanical art 
 at the Fitzwilliam Museum to living and preserved specimens at the Cambrid
 ge Botanic Garden and Herbarium\, I follow the story of one plant to exerc
 ise its agency within these collection networks: namely\, the Amaryllis be
 lladonna L.
