Armchair Botany Forum: Collecting Plant Specimens

“Collecting Plant Specimens”

For today’s Armchair Botanist presentation, please join herbarium staff for a high requested presentation on collecting plant specimens. Preserved plant specimens provide us with important information about plant diversity and distribution, and represent an observable, relatively permanent, and verifiable form of evidence of a plant’s existence in time and space. If these specimens are properly preserved and maintained, they can last for several hundred years. Join us in exploring the best practices for collecting scientific specimens, specifically for deposit in your local herbarium. We will discuss methods for vascular plants specifically but will briefly address some other special cases such as fungi, bryophytes, and lichens.

Our Armchair Botany events are forums for presentation and discussion about botany, herbarium specimens, and collections – and an invitation to get involved!
