Tl;Dr: almost died from a wild berry plant, anyone wants to include the plant into the scientific literature? There's a nameless plant in my backyard, 3 written papers on it, 1 about the fruit morphology, one basic chemical characterization which found like 3 substances only (undergrad research apparently) and the other one barely says the species name, probably misquoting it. It's called _Psychotria Trichophora_ and most photos online are of P. Hoffmansseggiana instead Tasty blue fruits, basically a wild blueberry, eating a couple seems to be safe. But, the flowers and leaves "may" have sodium monofluoroacetate which kills cows and and kill humans too A few months ago I was feeling daring and i decided to smoke its flowers (it's related to coffee and chakruna, the Ayahuasca leaves plant) well, about 20hrs later I got hit with an unbearable headache which caused me nausea, and i spent the next 6 hours constantly throwing up, nothing stayed down and there as blood in my vomit, I literally believed I was about to die and I wrote a basic will saying to archive my conversations and notebooks and give copies of my ideas to researches in their respective fields(there's a list of names of local professors somewhere in the middle of my stuff) Well, I didnt die, but I'm sure it was a close call. Also, my 30 tlc attempts only had noise, I couldn't even see the MAOIs from Ayahuasca glowing in a black light, which I used as a comparison with coffee as a control. I had blood drawn 36hrs after the symptoms started, didn't even look at them yet But yeah, don't smoke weird plants that aren't properly described in the literature The berries are delicious and only gave me a diuretic effect, no other liver or kidney effect afaik. And apparently sodium monofluoroacetate is more concentrated in the leaves and flowers(maybe in the trichomes tho it's anyone's guess at this point) and it's water soluble, so maybe by washing it a couple times then boiling it might be safe to eat larger quantities in a jam, but i ain't trying that without figuring out how to do proper TLC's first Great research project to anyone looking for an easy paper, so if anyone wants a specimen I can collect it fresh and conserve it however you need, basically everything there is to do with an unknown species can still be done with this plant, since it has no name yet and barely a couple papers written on it by undergrads, so anything you can think of doing with the plant you'll be able to publish simply because no one did it yet

Although I agree that actual samples have their uses, you were a bit to dismissive of photography. High quality photos of plants in situ, and in various stages of development etc are probably much more valuable than the specimens for the vast majority of needs. Ideally though you need a lot of photographs at various resolutions (including through a microscope and with various cross sections).

this was part of my college entrance essay some years ago. Since then I wanted to make a video on it, but I never acquired the video/graphic design skills to do so. "One evening I am sitting by a water fall in Iceland and a thought comes to my mind. It’s a huge waterfall with thousands of gallons of water with an enormous force crashing into the river below. But as I thought, it came to me; the waterfall is mostly composed of tiny water droplets, each falling, not dependent on the other. Three water droplets falling next to each other would have the same velocity as a million of them. And the same can be said about a rock, no matter how heavy it is, all particles individually will be pooled down with the same force causing it to fall with the same acceleration as anything else no matter it’s density or size."
