Herbarium - Herbaria

 

A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens that are carefully dried, pressed, and mounted on sheets of paper. Each specimen is labeled with information about its scientific name, location, date of collection, and other relevant details. Herbaria serve as valuable resources for botanists, researchers, and educators to study and document plant species. They contribute to the understanding of plant diversity, distribution, and taxonomy. Herbarium collections are often used for scientific research, environmental monitoring, and education, providing a record of plant species and their characteristics over time.
