today's Google doodle | Ynes Mexia

I love that today's Google doodle celebrates the Mexican-American botanist Ynes Mexia.

Ynés Enriquetta Julietta Mexía was a Mexican-American botanist known for her collection of novel plant specimens from areas of Mexico and South America. 

She discovered a new genus of Asteraceae and was arguably the most accomplished plant collector of her time. Wikipedia

Listen to this sweet homage from Memory Palace.
