SAT

Angelo State University Herbarium

The ASU Herbarium is the largest component of the Angelo State Natural History Collections (ASNHC) and comprises about 80,000 plant specimens, with significant holdings in the Poaceae and Cyperaceae families. It is the eighth-largest herbarium in Texas, and represents the most complete floristic inventory of the Concho Valley region. In addition, the Herbarium serves as a permanent depository for voucher specimens for floristic surveys of several unique areas in West Texas, including Big Bend National Park, Texas Nature Conservancy Big Brushy Canyon, and Texas Nature Conservancy Independence Creek. Specimens from several ecological and systematic studies of rare plants are also housed in our collection. Glenn Casey started the Herbarium in the 1940s. At that time, it was called the Goodman Herbarium, in honor of the late Oklahoma botanist, Dr. George Goodman. The collection languished briefly in the late 1960s after Casey’s departure and during ASU’s transition from the two-year San Angelo College to Angelo State University. It was revitalized in 1972 with the arrival of Dr. Chester Rowell Jr., who served as curator until his retirement in 1987. At that time, Dr. Bonnie Amos became curator, and she remains in that position to this day. The ASU Herbarium invites review of specimen identification--please contact the Collections Manager with any suggested updates to listed taxonomy.

ASU-Plants

Arizona State University Vascular Plant Herbarium

The Arizona State University Vascular Plant Herbarium (ASU) is among the most important in the greater Sonoran Desert region with over 315,000 specimens. We are particularly proud of our holdings of Cactaceae which include over 1,100 chromosome counts.

An herbarium is a collection of pressed, dried, and archived plants that are systematically arranged - each specimen a physical record of a plant growing at a particular place and at a particular time. Like most herbaria, we seek to document the geographical and ecological distribution of the regional flora, facilitate research, support teaching, and promote conservation. Vouchers from floristic studies have resulted in comprehensive collections of many important geographic regions in Arizona.

ANHC

Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission Herbarium

The Herbarium of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission consists primarily of specimens collected in the course of statewide ecological and biological inventory work conducted by the Arkansas Natural Heritage Program. Many of the specimens represent species that are rare in the state or were collected from rare or unusual habitats. The goals of the collection are 1) to provide a reference collection for work performed by Natural Heritage Commission staff and their conservation partners, 2) to house voucher specimens for rare plant records in the database of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Program, and 3) to voucher plants of ecologically sensitive or otherwise significant lands, including those contained within the State's System of Natural Areas. While most specimens are from Arkansas, special care is being made to assemble a collection of plants from surrounding states that are not presently known in Arkansas but are likely to be found there.

The ANHC Herbarium recently adopted the Henderson State University and University of Arkansas - Little Rock Herbaria (HEND-LRU), which are being integrated into the ANHC collection.

STAR

Arkansas State University

The Arkansas State University Herbarium (STAR) is focused on collections of vascular plants from the Crowley\'s Ridge, Mississippi Alluvial Plain, and Ozark Highlands ecoregions. The geographic emphasis of the collections is in Northeast Arkansas, the ancestral lands of indigenous nations including the OGahPah (Quapaw). The collection was founded by Delzie Demaree, and its longest-serving curator, Leon Richards, contributed the largest number of specimens. After Dr. Richards\' retirement, Staria Vanderpool focused on expanding collections through research in seeps and small bogs on Crowley\'s Ridge. Travis Marsico has curated the collection since 2010 with an emphasis on expanding the collections of graminoid monocots and other underrepresented groups from the local region. Other holdings include medicinal and poisonous plants, out-of-state collections from Missouri and the Carolinas and other areas of the southeastern U.S.A., and invasive species collected at and near shipping ports, along the Mississippi River, and other areas of human commerce and landscape disturbance. International collections include specimens from Canada, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Students have contributed a large number of specimens through coursework and during floristic master’s theses and conservation-focused doctoral research.

APSC

Austin Peay State University Herbarium

Austin Peay State University Herbarium (APSC), established in 1942, has roughly 138,000 specimens and is the second largest herbarium in the Kentucky/Tennessee region (as of 2024). Although located in Clarksville Tennessee, the APSC collection is mostly Kentucky-based with significant collections from the Louisville, Bowling Green, and Land Between the Lakes areas.

In 2017, APSC nearly doubled from its previous size due to the acquisition of the former Western Kentucky University herbarium (WKU) and Davies Herbarium of Louisville (DHL). These herbaria included the extensive unprocessed personal collections of Max Medley, a prolific botanist. Over the next six years these specimens were processed and integrated into APSC, with the final specimens filed into the cabinets by late 2022. Throughout this process every incoming specimen's identity was verified by former collections manager Mason Brock, resulting in >15,000 identity-changing annotations.

Under the curation of Dwayne Estes, APSC has become one of the fastest growing herbaria in the Southeast. In addition to an active graduate student program, APSC is also the home of the Southeastern Grasslands Initiative (SGI) dedicated to grassland conservation science.

Significant contributors: Max Medley, Edward Chester, Robert Kral, Dwayne Estes, and Mason Brock.

Data policy: In order to uphold our conservation and education based values, and to advance the purpose of this herbarium digitization project, APSC has chosen a policy of information openness regarding collection localities. Specimen images will be promptly supplied to all users upon request, with exception for taxa of extreme global rarity (G1) or those threatened with economic exploitation. (Requests these for taxa will be considered on a case-by-case basis.)

CIBO

City of Boulder Herbarium

The City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks herbarium (CIBO) contains over 2800 specimens representing over 900 unique taxa as of 2018. The collection documents the plains and foothills flora in over 45,000 acres of City of Boulder protected land that spans the Great Plains and Southern Rocky Mountain ecotone in this part of the Colorado Front Range. In 1987, volunteers Elaine Smith and Jeannine Shawver worked with Open Space staff to establish the herbarium with the goal of creating a complete collection of the vascular plants present on City of Boulder Open Space lands. To date, we estimate that we have collected over 85% of the vascular species recorded on our lands. The herbarium has expanded significantly since its founding, with incorporation of historic specimens dating back to 1983, periodic inventories by professional botanists, and the dedication, expertise and persistent work of volunteers over the last 30 years. In 1999, Professor William A. Weber (University of Colorado Herbarium) reviewed and annotated over one third of the collection. In 2018, the entire collection was imaged and georeferenced by the University of Colorado Herbarium. Today the collection represents diverse habitats that include wet meadows, upland prairies, shrublands, riparian corridors, canyons, ponderosa pine and mixed forests at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 10,100 feet.

NPS-DETO

Devils Tower National Monument

Devils Tower National Monument was established in 1906 and is comprised of 1,347 acres in Crook County, Wyoming. It is located in northeastern Wyoming on the northwest edge of the Black Hills. The 867 foot high Devils Tower was formed by the intrusion of igneous material into softer sedimentary rocks which later eroded to expose the tower. It attracts thousands of climbers each year. Ponderosa pine forests/woodlands cover approximately 60% of the monument. Six types of prairie grasslands occupy roughly 30% of the area in small patches within the more dominant ponderosa pine forest and woodland. The Belle Fourche River flows through the eastern part of Devils Tower NM and forms part of its southern boundary. Deciduous forests/woodlands (including plains cottonwood riparian woodland) occur in about 5% of the monument. Early efforts to document the Monument’s flora included significant contributions by Laura Joyner, wife of an early superintendent, and George W. Giles, working for the Works Project Administration. The first comprehensive plant species inventory was carried out in 1981-1982 (H. Marriott). An extensive list of plant species for Devils Tower NM was reviewed and certified by Marriott in 2004. Ten additional species were found in a survey for plant species of concern in 2008 (B. Heidel) and additional information relevant to the status of several other species has been generated in recent years. The Monument's certified plant list currently is being updated, through fieldwork and review of secondary sources. It is estimated that the known flora contains on the order of 460 species. At this time, there are 800 plant specimens in Devils Tower NM herbarium which is housed at Mount Rushmore National Memorial museum.

Dinosaur’s herbarium represents and perpetuates a longtime legacy of botanists collecting, curating, and researching plant taxa within the park, as well as the monument’s remarkable flora. Situated at the convergence of five ecoregions, and featuring a wide range of geology and topography, the Monument has historically been a study site for dozens of rare, local and edaphic endemic plants, with at least 11 type specimens, and 95 species currently listed as special status or of conservation concern. The herbarium’s physical and digital presence is home to over 800 taxa and almost 3,000 specimens, part of an increasingly vital network of Intermountain botanical resources.

EIU

Eastern Illinois University, Stover-Ebinger Herbarium

The Stover-Ebinger Herbarium has about 88,000 specimens. It contains a very good representation of the flora of the midwestern United States; about half the specimens were collected in Illinois. Students and faculty conducting ecological studies and floristic inventories use the herbarium to help identify the plants they see and collect. Students in Plant Taxonomy, Dendrology, and Wetland Plants classes use it to become familiar with species and for identification of specimens. In our courses on Wetland Plants, Woody Plants, Economic Botany, Medicinal Plants, and Plant Evolution, herbarium specimens are used to to make morphological comparisons among relevant plant taxa. The herbarium was started in 1899. Originally named the Stover Herbarium for Dr. Ernest L. Stover, professor of botany from 1923-1960, the Botany Dept. faculty voted in Dec., 1995 to "expand" the name to honor John E. Ebinger on the occasion of his retirement. Dr. Ebinger collected about one-third of the specimens in the herbarium and served as curator from 1963-1995. For information about vascular plants, contact Dr. Gordon C. Tucker (gctucker@eiu.edu; 217-581-3126). Our specimens of fungi (including lichens) and bryophytes were transferred to the Illinois Natural History Survey (ILLS), beginning in 2015; for further information about these collections, please contact Dr. Andrew Miller (amiller7@illinois.edu).

EKY

Eastern Kentucky University, Ronald L. Jones Herbarium

Several years ago, the Eastern Kentucky University Herbarium (EKY) merged with the Berea College Ralph L. Thompson Herbarium (BEREA) to form a unified collection at Eastern Kentucky University. Both collections are maintained separately in the same physical facilities. As of late 2021, the combined accessioned herbarium collection exceeded 110,000 specimens, and was actively growing. Almost all of the holdings are of vascular plants. This herbarium is by far the largest, most diverse and most active in Kentucky. Significant collections from many people and sources are included in EKY; most of the collections in BEREA are of Ralph Thompson. Significant strengths include Kentucky plants, woody taxa, the Southern Appalachians and Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, though there are significant holdings from a much wider area.

FWNC-FWNC

Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge Herbarium

At 3,621 acres, the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge is one of the largest city-owned nature centers in the United States. Created in the 1960s with the help of local citizens’ groups, the Center’s development built on earlier efforts to protect the watershed feeding the Lake Worth reservoir in the western portion of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Dora Sylvester, a science educator and naturalist who was a major force in the Center’s creation, understood the importance of herbaria in documenting past and present plant diversity at managed nature preserves, and established the FWNC herbarium. The herbarium started mainly with her own collections from the property and has been supplemented with vouchers from more recent vegetation studies, as well as those made by other volunteers, staff, and students from local universities. The herbarium additionally serves a role in the training of staff and volunteers, and also in the Center’s education programs for adults and school children.

The collection as of August, 2023 contains 2147 specimens. The majority of specimens have been collected in Gila National forest and other areas of SW New Mexico. Many specimens were donated by Jack L. Carter, the author of Trees and Shrubs of New Mexico. Dr. Carter was a long-time resident of Silver City, NM, which is also the home of the Gila National Forest Herbarium. Dr. Carter gathered numerous volunteers to document the flora of SW NM during the 1990s. The specimens collected by Dr. Carter and volunteers make up the bulk of the Gila NF Herbarium. Vascular plants are the focus of the herbarium with lichens absent and only two moss specimens present. The Poaceae is especially well represented in the collection.

UAEH-HGOM

Herbario de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo

El Herbario HGOM se encuentra en el Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas (CIB) de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH) en el campus de la Ciudad Universitaria ubicado en Mineral de la Reforma, Hidalgo, México. El herbario HGOM surge como una necesidad de resguardar la flora del Estado de Hidalgo estudiada mediante proyectos sometidos por los investigadores botánicos del Área Académica de Biología. La colección botánica inició con lo que se conocía como colección de Etnobotánica, la cual cuenta con aproximadamente 4,000 ejemplares a cargo del Dr. Miguel Ángel Villavicencio. Este herbario fue creado para resguardar y respaldar la flora Hidalguense vascular del estado de Hidalgo. En este herbario se encuentra depositado material de la flora local del estado, con particular énfasis en gramíneas (Poaceae), helechos y licopodios (Pteridofitas), encinos (Quercus) y recientemente Bromelias (Bromeliaceae) y cícadas. HGOM se encuentra registrado en el Index herbariorum a partir del 2008 y cuenta con aproximadamente 7,000 ejemplares.

UCOL-UCOL

Herbario de la Universidad de Colima

Se estima que en el estado de Colima existen más de 4000 especies de plantas vasculares en 5625 km2. Esta alta riqueza en un espacio relativamente pequeño se relaciona con un marcado gradiente altitudinal (desde 0 a más de 3000 metros sobre el nivel del mar en menos de 100 km lineares); además, se encuentra en la confluencia del Eje Neovolcánico y la Sierra Madre del Sur, lo que en conjunto genera hábitats de enorme riqueza biológica. Acorde al Inventario Estatal Forestal y de Suelos del 2013, en Colima existen bosques de Coníferas, latifoliadas, bosque mesófilo, manglares, selvas altas y medianas y selvas bajas, estas últimas son las que ocupan la mayor proporción de territorio del estado. Como una estrategia para documentar la biodiversidad del estado y en su momento proponer estrategias de manejo y conservación se propuso la creación del Herbario de la Universidad de Colima, en donde se resguardan especímenes representativos de la flora del estado. Por lo mismo esta colección incluye plantas vasculares y no vasculares terrestres. Debido a su vinculación con la Licenciatura en Biología y el P.E. Ingeniero Agrónomo que ofrece la Universidad de Colima, se encuentra en el Campus Tecomán de la Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias (FCBA).

Herbario del Estado de Zacatecas

En el estado de Zacatecas convergen dos reinos biogeográficos: el holártico y el neotropical (Rzedowski, 1991; Balleza y Villaseñor, 2002). Presenta cuatro provincias fisiográficas, la Sierra Madre Occidental, la Sierra Madre Oriental, la Mesa del Centro y la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana (INEGI, 2001; Balleza y Villaseñor, 2002). Por lo que, estos factores crean en el territorio zacatecano una serie de condiciones climáticas, de relieve y edáficas óptimas para el desarrollo de diversas especies de flora, fauna y de diferentes comunidades vegetales que pueden ser conservadas.

Esta falta de documentación y el cambio de uso de suelo ocasionado por la minería, la agricultura y la ganadería (SEDUZAC, sf.) impide conocer los impactos que ha sufrido la biodiversidad en la entidad y al mismo tiempo generar estrategias para mitigar estos impactos. Además, vuelve urgente la documentación de la diversidad florística para estudios ecológicos, biogeográficos y evolutivos para el entendimiento y conservación del Estado.

A falta de un listado taxonómico actualizado de la flora de Zacatecas, Villaseñor (2016) reporta 3,705 especies de plantas vasculares. No obstante, el Estado presenta un bajo número de estudios florísticos en comparación con otros estados del país (Dávila y Sosa, 1994; Ramírez-Díaz, 2016).

Records in this database are of the vascular plants and algae (of which there are very few) in the Intermountain Herbarium. Records for fungi, lichens and bryophytes are now being posted to the taxon-specific networks. The geographic focus of the Intermountain Herbarium is the Intermountain Region of western North America but its holdings come from many different countries. It even has one or more specimens from each of the seven continents. The collection is particularly rich in the Scrophulariaceae (traditional sense), Eriogonum, and grasses, including voucher specimens of plants used by the late D.R. Dewey in his cytogenetic studies of the Triticeae.

Iowa State University, Ada Hayden Herbarium

The Ada Hayden Herbarium has the largest collection of Iowa plants and fungi, containing over 650,000 specimens of vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens. Functioning primarily as a research facility important for taxonomic studies (occurrence, distribution, and relationships of plants), it is also used for identifying unknown plants. Specimens are loaned to specialists at other institutions around the world to support research. Loans from other institutions allow our researchers access to other herbaria. Recently, herbaria have become a source of materials to use in molecular studies and to support basic research on biodiversity.

Klamath National Forest Herbarium

The Klamath National Forest encompasses nearly 1.7 million acres of land straddling the California and Oregon border in the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountain Ranges. In the mountains to the west, the terrain is steep and rugged, while the east-side has gentler, rolling terrain of volcanic origin, sprinkled with buttes and valleys. Elevations range from 450 to 9,001 feet above sea level at Thompson Peak, on the Siskiyou-Trinity County divide. The Klamath National Forest is one of America’s most biologically diverse regions, due to the blending of four floristic provinces and boasts a center of coniferous diversity (19 species) in the Russian Wilderness. The Klamath National Forest Herbarium aims to preserve and record the many rare and endemic species unique to the region.

JWC

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Herbarium

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center was founded by Lady Bird Johnson and Helen Hayes as the National Wildflower Research Center in 1982, as a private nonprofit research organization focused on Texas wildflowers. The herbarium at the Center was established in 1987 to support ongoing research efforts in species conservation, ex-situ plant conservation (including seed banking), habitat restoration, and landscape ecology. Although some of the earliest accessions in the herbarium carry the stamp of the National Wildflower Research Center, the institution was renamed the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in 1997 in recognition of Mrs. Johnson’s environmental legacy as well as the Center’s evolution into a major regional botanical garden. Subsequently, the Center joined the University of Texas at Austin in 2006 as one of its research units. The JWC herbarium’s collections almost exclusively voucher research projects conducted over the years by its staff and associates, as well as samples collected on behalf of the Millennium Seed Bank.

Louisiana State Arboretum

Established in 1961, the Louisiana State Arboretum was the first such area in the South and the first state-supported arboretum in the United States. The 600 acre site is the only Louisiana state-owned preservation area open to the public, providing a little over 5.5 miles of hiking trails along a Cypress-Tupelo Swamp, through a Bottomland Hardwood Forest and along ridges of a Beech-Magnolia Forest. In 1967, Horticulturist Nick A. Tuzzalino collected some of the first plants to be preserved for the arboretum’s herbarium. In the early 1980’s, Charles A. Allen, at that time a Botany graduate student, was hired to collect and preserve as many plant specimens as he could find and identify in the initial 300 acres open to the public. There are now about 600 specimens in the herbarium collection.

LL

Lundell Herbarium at the University of Texas at Austin

The Lundell Herbarium (LL) is part of the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center, which houses the combined herbaria of the University of Texas Herbarium (TEX) and the Lundell Herbarium; the combined PRC collections include over one million specimens from all parts of the world and represent the 13th largest herbarium in the United States. The two herbaria (TEX and LL) are completely integrated and interfiled, although each sheet is marked as to its herbarium and should be cited as such. The Lundell Herbarium itself includes material amassed by Cyrus L. Lundell, who botanically explored portions of northern Central America and was the first and only director of the Texas Research Foundation of Renner, Texas, from 1946 until its dissolution in 1972. The Lundell Herbarium (LL) includes material collected through the Texas Research Foundation and other personal collections of Dr. Lundell collected in Mexico and Central America; some of these specimens formed part of the University of Texas at Dallas herbarium (referred to by the acronym UTD), where Lundell conducted research after the dissolution of the Texas Research Foundation, but all were combined into the the Lundell Herbarium (LL) when he donated the collection to the Plant Resources Center in the 1970s and 1980s. LL includes over 300,000 specimens and is especially rich in plants of Texas, the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, as well as in the plant families of Lundell’s primary interest, especially Myrsinaceae and Celastraceae. No new material is being accessioned into LL.

Montana State University - Northern Herbarium

Specializing in flora of the north central and eastern plains of Montana, the Montana State University Northern Herbarium represents a new repository for plants growing in the diverse habitats associated with this geographical area. In addition to grass- and shrub lands, we house specimen vouchers from localized mountain areas that rise above the plains (e.g., Sweetgrass Hills, Bears Paw and Little Belt Mountains). Plants collected from prairie potholes and limestone outcrops, as well as those from cottonwood dominated riparian areas and gumbo bluffs associated with the Missouri River Breaks, are included in the collection. Voucher age ranges from the early 1900’s to the present and some of these represent plants collected from more well-known regions, e.g., Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, and Glacier National Parks.

The Murray State University Herbarium (code MUR), Murray, KY, was created through the efforts of Dr. Marian Fuller in the late 1960s. She combined a number of smaller plant collections that had accumulated over the years since the beginning of the university in 1922, in addition to adding many specimens of her own. Over 40,500 plant specimens are currently housed in the herbarium, which makes MUR the third largest collection in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The H. Raymond Athey collection, the largest individual collection of almost 6,000 specimens, also is housed in the herbarium. The herbarium is the repository of the largest collection of the Jackson Purchase area (Mississippi Embayment) flora in the state. Approximately 56% of the specimen records have been cataloged electronically and are available on-line through this searchable database. This herbarium has been supported by many volunteers; the MSU College of Science, Engineering, and Technology; the Department of Biological sciences; the Watershed Studies Institute; and the Kentucky Academy of Science.

DEK

Northern Illinois University Herbarium

The herbarium at NIU is an internationally recognized systematic collection, initiated in the 1960s and enlarged significantly during the 1970s to the present. Holdings presently total about 19,000 specimens of vascular plants plus an additional 8000 bryophytes. A very large portion of the bryophytes (about 6000 specimens) is on permanent loan to MO (Missouri Botanic Garden).

Special collections include a definitive collection of the genus Dahlia, which contains holotypes and isotypes plus a thoroughly documented array of hybrids between authenticated wild species. A second important collection is of Arbutus that also includes type material. The troublesome genus Agrimonia is more completely documented at DEK than at any other herbarium in the world. In Zygophyllaceae, there is a substantial collection of species of Guaiacum, for which sequenced marker loci are indicated. The collection also emphasizes grassland species and those for which genetic resources, especially complete plastome sequences, are available.

DEK presently maintains exchange relationships with more than 26 domestic and 6 foreign herbaria. As a consequence, coverage, while emphasizing the flora of Illinois, is worldwide.

LLC

Our Lady of the Lake University Herbarium

The LLC herbarium was founded in 1932 through the efforts of Sister Mary Clare Metz (1907–1998) at what was then known as Our Lady of the Lake College, the first accredited institution of higher learning in San Antonio, which was started in 1895 by the Sisters of the Congregation of Divine Providence. Metz spent her adult life as a nun in this order, which sent her to college to study biology at a time when the school needed life-sciences faculty. She collected more than 1,000 specimens during her doctoral work at the Catholic University of America, where her research resulted in A Flora of Bexar County, Texas, the first detailed study of the plant life of the San Antonio area. After achieving her Ph.D., Sister Mary went on to a lengthy career teaching biology courses at Our Lady of the Lake, and also curated the LLC herbarium. She was so revered by the faculty and student body, that the building that currently houses the herbarium and other science functions is named in her honor.

The herbarium currently curates ca. 10,000 specimens with a heavy emphasis on the flora of the San Antonio metropolitan region. After Metz retired, the herbarium entered a less active phase. However, starting in 2021 the herbarium has been revitalized and increasingly is being used for teaching and research.

USFWS-PRR

Patuxent Research Refuge, Maryland

PRR is the reference herbarium for plants occurring on the Patuxent Research Refuge. The refuge was established in 1936 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and is the nation's only national wildlife refuge established to support wildlife research. It is located between Washington and Baltimore.

When the refuge was established in 1936, botanist Neil Hotchkiss and other scientists surveyed the flora on the 2,650 acres which made up the Refuge. Lists of plants found on the Refuge were published in 1940 and 1947. The latter list tabulated 877 plant taxa. Voucher specimens were collected and reposited in the Refuge's herbarium. By 1980, when the refuge expanded to 4,741 acres, a total of 969 plant taxa were listed.

In the early 1990's as part of the Base Re-alignment and Closure (BRAC) process, the Department of Defense transferred about 8,100 acres of land from Fort Meade to the Department of Interior, with control of the land given to the Fish and Wildlife Service. The addition of this parcel, now known as the North Tract, brought the total acreage of the Refuge to over 12,800 acres.

A floral survey of the North Tract began in 2010 and a re-survey of the older parcel of the Refuge, known as the Central and South Tracts, was initiated in 2013. As of November 2020, the herbarium holds over 5,300 voucher specimens from over 1,250 taxa found on the Refuge. This includes some Maryland rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) species and at least five species new to Maryland. Some duplicate and unique voucher specimens are held by other herbaria.

With the collaboration of the Norton-Brown Herbarium at the University of Maryland, and the Mid-Atlantic Consortium the herbarium is digitizing its voucher specimens collection. Recently, the herbarium has added lichens to its collection.

Please feel free to peruse the herbarium's data, but use it with caution as we are still tweaking things.

NPS-PISP

Pipe Spring National Monument

The PISP herbarium has an extensive collection of historical specimens dating from the 1930s. As of FY2013, the herbarium collection includes 559 specimens. The first collection was acquired by Leonard Heaton, the park’s first caretaker. Heaton also compiled an early (1935) checklist of the park’s flora. Very few park units have such strong baseline data. These historical specimens were recently remounted and are in excellent condition. Relatively few additional specimens were added to the PISP herbarium until 1997, when ZION personnel began exotic and native species inventory projects. Over the past decade, the collection has grown significantly in size as a result of new collections added during inventory and vegetation mapping projects sponsored by the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program. As of 2013, 335 vascular plant taxa have been documented for the park since its establishment in 1923. The PISP herbarium currently has a voucher for 275 (82%) of these species. Of the 60 species missing from the PISP herbarium, 13 have been collected from the park but are housed in other regional herbaria (mostly at Arizona State University, University of Arizona, and University of Wyoming). Eleven species have been recently observed but no voucher made, and 36 species have been reported in various documents, but no voucher has been taken and the species have not been observed in recent years.

Sagehen Herbarium

The Sagehen Herbarium is comprised of two related collections: Flora of the Sagehen Basin (approx. 1600 specimens) and Flora of the Chickering American River Reserve (approx. 200 specimens). Both are designed to be synoptic teaching collections for their respective regions. Sagehen Basin is approximately 8000 acres, and encompasses a diverse cross section of the Sierra Nevada from the Pacific Crest (el. 8000 ft) to the eastern slope (el. 6400 ft). Habitats include yellow pine, mixed conifer, and red fir forests, as well as brushfields, scattered mountain meadows, and fens. Major collectors include E. Davidson, W. Savage, B. Trowbridge, L. Loeblich, J. Ammirati, R. Schmid, M. Fleshner, and J. Brooks.  The Chickering American River Reserve encompasses the headwaters of the North Fork American River, on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada. It includes habitats such as black oak woodlands, montane and subalpine coniferous forests, aspen groves, willow thickets, mixed riparian woodland, wet and dry subalpine meadows, montane chaparral, alpine lake margins, and fell fields. Major collectors are R. Palmer, B. Corbin, S. Chickering, E. Krimmel, and F. Felix. Flora of the Chickering American River is a new collection as of Summer 2013, with the goal of establishing voucher specimens to document this reserve's plant list. Both the Sagehen Creek and Chickering American River collections are actively being added to at a rate of 50-300 per field season.

Saint Ambrose University Herbarium

In 1914 the herbarium of Saint Ambrose University was established as an addition to the biology department by Monsignor Ulrich A. Hauber. The herbarium currently holds over 900 of Hauber’s collections that were among the first specimens added to the facility and just over half of his collections were from the Quad Cities area. Today’s herbarium holds approximately 4500 specimens and, though it includes bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and fungi, flowering plants comprise nearly 90% of the total. Over 96% of the St. Ambrose University herbarium hails from the United States, with the remainder having been collected in the Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and Switzerland. Just over 3200 specimens in the St. Ambrose University herbarium were collected in Iowa and about 2300 (~50% of the total) document the flora of the Quad Cities region, the area within which the university is found.

SEU

Saint Edward's University Herbarium

The Saint Edward’s University Herbarium collection, which was established in the late 1950s, is a fruit of the work of Brother Daniel Lynch, CSC, and his dedicated students. Br. Daniel (1921–1997) was beloved throughout Central Texas, and many university benefactors contributed to funds that supported his scholarship and his service to marginalized communities. He used some of those funds to buy herbarium cabinets and supplies as he built the collection. He relied heavily on the herbarium as he worked with the illustrator, Nancy McGowan, to complete Native and Naturalized Woody Plants of Austin and the Hill Country. This reference was originally published in 1981 and is still widely used by botanists around the state. In addition to his high level of scholarship, Br. Daniel was a stellar teacher at St. Edward’s for more than 40 years. His students not only learned from the herbarium collection, but they also helped him to build it. Today, the collection is used primarily to support teaching in the natural sciences, but also serves as a repository for voucher specimens documenting the plant diversity of the associated Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve and Creative Research Center.

SD-Plants

San Diego Natural History Museum

The San Diego Natural History Museum Department of Botany focuses on biodiversity, evolutionary history research, and documentation of the flora in Southern California, Baja California, and adjacent areas. With a collection dating back to the 1870s, the SD Herbarium is invaluable as a scientific resource that documents regional plant populations and has been used for basic natural history research. Botanists with regional colleges, universities, and museums utilize the collections for their own research and for student projects, both by visiting the collection in person and/or through loans. The SD Herbarium houses over 270,000 accessioned specimens, all of which have been databased. Specimens from southern California account for nearly half of our collection and about 20% of our collection is from Baja California. Nearly all San Diego County and Baja California records have been georeferenced (99%). The Botany Department maintains two web sites that serve researchers with searching and mapping pages, checklists, voucher images, data input forms for collectors, and other tools for using our collections. SDPlantAtlas.org serves researchers interested in the plants of California’s San Diego and Imperial Counties. BajaFlora.org serves the needs of researchers interested in the plants of the two states of Baja, Mexico, consolidating the SD collections and the collections of the two primary herbaria in Baja.

SSLP

Shrub Science Laboratory, Rocky Mountain Research Station

Shrubs are the dominant form of plant life on vast areas of North America, as well as on other continents. Shrub dominance is a consequence of major climatic and geologic patterns. Approximately 548,000 square miles (142 million hectares) of the western United States are characterized by shrubland dominance. Sizable additional areas classified as forests, woodlands, grasslands, or riparian corridors include an important shrub component. Despite the large size of these shrub-dominated ecosystems, they are often poorly understood and frequently abused as a natural resource. Research is needed to better understand and manage these plant communities and their associated biota. The Provo Shrub Sciences Lab is located in Provo, Utah near the Brigham Young University campus. As part of the Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystems Program in the Rocky Mountain Research Station, scientists conduct original research and collaborate with researchers and managers from private and public universities and state, federal, and foreign agencies on aspects of shrub and shrubland biology, ecology, and management. Research focus areas are inter-related and address challenges to shrubland conservation and management under the over-arching realities of a changing world.

Sul Ross University, A. Michael Powell Herbarium

The herbarium occupies one wing of the Warnock Science Building. There are approximately 100,000 specimens housed in 112 cases. The major collections include plants of Trans-Pecos Texas, which forms the largest part of the northern part of the Chihuahuan Desert Region in the United States. It is a prominent regional research collection that is available to botanists around the world and is also a valuable teaching facility for both graduate and undergraduate students interested in various botanical disciplines or in wildlife biology. The first significant collections are those made by O.E. Sperry in 1935-1946. The physical herbarium was probably started by L.C. Hinkley but B.H. Warnock was responsible for the largest early collection of plants and major development of the herbarium as a research facility. Another major contributor was M.C Johnston. More recently, the herbarium has grown through the efforts of A.M. Powell, in whose honor the university renamed the herbarium in 2003.

TCSW

Texas Woman's University Herbarium

The Texas Woman's University Herbarium was one of the few herbaria initiated in the early 1900s in Texas, and its history traces back to the time of the establishment and development of the University and its Biology department. Albert Ruth contributed 1/4 of the actual collection, between 1903 and 1927. During the 1930s and 1940s, it was further enlarged by well-known botanists such as: B. C. Tharp (1885-1964), who directed the University of Texas Herbarium (TEX) for 45 years after Dr. Mary S. Young; Barton H. Warnock (1911-1998) and C. H. Mueller, who collected mainly from the Big Bend Region; Mary S. Young (1872-1919), one of the first Texas female botanists and the first curator of TEX between 1912-1919; Dr. Fred A. Barkley, curator of TEX, 1945-1958; and Eula Whitehouse (1892-1974), who published ‘Texas Flowers in Natural Colors’ (1936), the first color-illustrated guide to Texas wildflowers. Other contributors were Dr. Viola Hamilton, professor and chair of the TWU Department of Biology, her collaborators, and students.

After World War II, the collection was neglected and forgotten until a lab coordinator, Reta Smiddy Foreman, re-discovered it in 1976, overcrowded into two metal cases in an unused closet of the Old Science Building. After renovations in 1978, there was no room for the herbarium, and the cases were stored in a hallway. Since the gasketed doors remained unopened for years, most of the collection is still in very good shape today. University support was obtained in 2001 in raising money for the TWU Centennial Herbarium Project, which produced the first public exhibit of specimens for the TWU and Denton communities. The Department of Biology provided funds for two undergraduate student assistants to help with mounting, sorting, and inventorying the herbarium collection, as well as new space for it. The collection was digitized by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) in 2023 under NSF Grant #1902078.

ALA

University of Alaska Museum

The Herbarium (ALA) at the University of Alaska Museum is the major regional herbarium in Alaska and part of a network of similar collections with an interest in the origin and evolution of the circumpolar flora. ALA contains more than 260,000 specimens of vascular and non-vascular plants. Data for the Vascular Plant and Cryptogam collections are managed separately in Arctos. Much of our understanding of Ice Age Beringia is based on botanical specimens, the largest collection of which is housed at ALA. Our recent acquisition from Iowa State University of the J. P. Anderson Collection (32,000 specimens on permanent loan) forms a significant part of this story. This collection of arctic and boreal plants, which contains 67 nomenclatural type specimens, formed the basis for much of Anderson's seminal work, The Flora of Alaska. The botanical collection also includes plants from other states, Canada, Greenland, Fennoscandia, Japan, and Russia and provides a basis for teaching and research. Our botanical collection can be viewed and searched through the Arctos database and includes high resolution images of 163,000 herbarium sheets, online representation of 190,000 holdings, and inclusion of all holdings in an object-tracking system (barcode labeling).

UAC-Vascular Plants

University of Calgary Herbarium

With a extensive collection of land plants from Alberta and around the world, the University of Calgary Herbarium (UAC) is dedicated to the collection, preservation and documentation of plant biodiversity.

The herbarium’s entire collection consists of approximately 92,000 vascular specimens (land plants with tissues that conduct water and minerals) and another 12,000 non-vascular (plants like mosses, algae and fungi). About 70 percent of the Department of Biological Sciences collection is focused on plants on western North America. Side collections include cones, seeds and different types of woods.

Inside the herbarium, the first thing a visitor notices in the large cross-section of a Douglas fir tree trunk. Thirty-four years ago, when Bonnie Smith started her job as the herbarium’s technician, one of her first tasks was to label the rings with historical events and years going back to 1585 when John Davis explored the Northwest Passage and the tree was a seedling. The last ring on the trunk – next to the outer layer of bark – is 1965, a year before the University of Calgary came into being.

Over its 54-year history, the herbarium has had four directors: (past to present) Dr. Charles Bird, Dr. Robert T. Ogilvie, Dr. C.C. Chinnappa and Dr. Jana Vamosi.

UHCC

University of Houston Coastal Center Herbarium

The Univeristy of Houston Coastal Center Herbarium emphasizes local collections from the UHCC field station in LaMarque, TX. The local habitats include coastal prairie, various wetland habitats (mostly man-made), and forest dominated by exotic Chinese tallow trees.

The University of Houston Coastal Center is designated by the Texas legislature as the Texas Institute for Coastal Prairie Research and Education. It is an environmental research and educational center about 14 miles northwest of the Gulf Coast, which contains about 300 acres of threatened coastal tallgrass prairie. UHCC aims to support environmental research on the Texas coast by providing researchers with access to field sites, equipment and facilities.

Prior to World War II, the UHCC was dominated by tall-grass prairie. The area was used by the military (Camp Wallace) during the 1940s, resulting in human disturbance to portions of the prairie and the introduction of non-native species. The UHCC has been managed by the University of Houston since October, 1960.

Current land management goals include maintaining the areas of pristine prairie, and, when possible, restoring areas invaded by exotic species or disturbed by human activity.

OKL

University of Oklahoma, Robert Bebb Herbarium

The Robert Bebb Herbarium at the University of Oklahoma is jointly administered by the Department of Microbiology and Plant Biology and the Oklahoma Biological Survey. Collections were established soon after OU's inception in 1890, but these were lost in a 1903 fire that destroyed the University. Efforts to re-establish the collection were commenced shortly after this loss, and today the collection includes approximately 250,000 specimens. These are primarily vascular plants from Oklahoma and the Great Plains region. Major contributors to the collections include B.F. Bush, G.W. Stevens, C.S. Wallis, U.T. Waterfall, and G.J. Goodman, who also served as curator from 1933-1936 and 1945-1975. The herbarium was named for Robert Bebb, an Oklahoma florist and amateur botanist who bequeathed his large private herbarium to the university.

TENN

University of Tennessee Vascular Herbarium

The TENN vascular collection has a strong emphasis on widespread and/or temperate taxa. Even though the collection houses representative specimens of the world's flora, it is unique in having the largest collection of specimens from the state of Tennessee, the historical collections documenting the flora of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a World Biosphere Reserve), and the large, general collection from throughout the southern Appalachians. Significant and representative collections are also present from the remainder of the U. S., including Alaska, Central and South America, and Afro-Eurasia. The pteridophyte collection is more cosmopolitan than the rest of the vascular plant collection due, in large part, to the collecting and exchange of A. M. Evans and A. J. Sharp.

TEX

University of Texas at Austin Herbarium

The University of Texas Herbarium (TEX) is part of the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center, which houses the combined herbaria of TEX and the Lundell Herbarium (LL). The combined PRC collections include over one million specimens from all parts of the world and represent the 13th largest herbarium in the United States. The two herbaria (TEX and LL) are completely integrated and interfiled, although each sheet is marked as to its herbarium and should be cited as such. The University of Texas Herbarium itself, with close to 700,000 specimens, dates to about 1890 and is especially strong in Texas and Mexican specimens. The research interests of faculty, staff, and graduate students have led to very strong representation of Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Rhamnaceae, among other families, as well as the Chihuahuan Desert region (Mexico and the U.S.) and the mountains and plains of northeastern Mexico. All new specimens received into the Plant Resources Center are now accessioned into TEX.

Douglas Spence continued the maintenance and expansion of the herbarium with personal and student collections through the present.  The herbarium collection remains comparatively small, about 1,300 species in 108 families, due largely to restricted storage space.  The herbarium, as established by Dr. Kurtz, is restricted to vascular plants collected only in the state of Texas.  The specimens are principally from the surrounding Permian Basin, but all parts of Texas are represented.  Families Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae, and West Texas wildflowers are particularly well represented and subdivided by tribe or subfamily.  This collection is being digitized with support from a Department of Education grant, Hispanic Serving Institutions – Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics (HSI-STEM), in collaboration with the Botanical Research Institute of Texas.

Approximately one-fourth of its vascular plant specimens are from Wisconsin, all of which have been databased and are searchable online. In addition, most of the world's floras are well represented, and the holdings from certain areas such as the Upper Midwest, eastern North America, western Mexico, and the Arctic (primarily lichens) are widely recognized as resources of global significance. The herbarium occupies two floors of the east wing of historic Birge Hall at the top of Bascom Hill on the UW-Madison campus. In addition to its specimen holdings, visitors to WIS have access to high-quality microscopes, an extensive library of books, reprints and maps, computer workstations, and internet connections for personal computers. WIS serves as the state of Wisconsin's official repository of plant specimen vouchers, and is actively engaged in educating students and sharing our passion for plants with the public. The faculty, staff, and students associated with the herbarium are engaged in a variety of local, regional, national, and international efforts to document, showcase, and protect plant diversity.

West Virginia Wesleyan College, George B. Rossbach Herbarium

The George B. Rossbach Herbarium, established ca. 1950, is housed in the Department of Biology, Christopher Hall of Science of West Virginia Wesleyan College. The physical collection consists of over 25,000 specimens, the lifework of Dr. George Bowyer Rossbach (1910-2002). Dr. Rossbach collected primarily from West Virginia and Maine but also from elsewhere in the northeastern and southeastern United States, the western United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Galapagos Islands and, as a teenager, in Massachusetts and Maine. Also present are orchid vouchers, some specimens from the central north coast of Jamaica, and other collections by Dr. Katharine B. Gregg, along with various student collections, primarily from West Virginia. In addition, there are numerous specimens from elsewhere in United States obtained through trading with other US herbaria and as gifts from Southern Appalachian Botanical Club. Dr. George B. Rossbach taught biology at West Virginia Wesleyan College from 1949-1976. From 1960 through his retirement in 1976, Dr. Rossbach was the Curator of the Herbarium. After his death, the herbarium was named the George B. Rossbach Herbarium in his honor. It is listed in Index Herbariorum (code WVW) and in the BioDiversity Collections Index. Dr. Katharine Gregg, the current curator, is now digitizing, imaging, and sharing this collection through a grant from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission Division of Science and Research. As the specimens are databased and imaged they are bing made available through “Pages in Time” from the Annie Merner Pfeiffer Library, SERNEC, andiDigBio. Databasing uses software shared by the herbarium staff of Eastern Kentucky University. The virtual herbarium uses CONTENTdm, a digital content management software system, supported by OCLC (the Online Computer Library Center), Dublin, OH.

Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve Herbarium

Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve is a unique window onto the longleaf pine forests that once covered millions of acres in the southeastern U.S. The towering pines – some of them hundreds of years old – tower over expanses of wiregrass and rare and intriguing species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, pine barrens tree frog, bog spicebush, fox squirrel and myriad wildflowers. A network of short, easy trails provides an outdoor classroom for ranger-led hikes that teach about this ecology or for quiet contemplation. With limited understory, the forest is a natural theater for birding and viewing wildlife. The visitor center’s museum-quality exhibits explore the longleaf forest, its flora and fauna and its unique history.

WILLI

William & Mary Herbarium

The herbarium of the College of William & Mary (WILLI) was formally organized in 1969, and has since grown to over 80,000 accessioned specimens representing most of our regional vascular plant species. About one half of our collection has been generated by faculty and student research which includes the production of 29 floras and a diversity of other projects. The remainder of the collection has been generated by exchanges with other herbaria, and gifts from individuals and agencies such as the Virginia Natural Heritage. Our focus is on the southeast U.S., with special emphasis on Virginia's Coastal Plain Physiographic Province.

YU

Yale University Herbarium, Peabody Museum of Natural History (Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History-YU)

Founded in 1864 by Daniel Cady Eaton from his personal library and plant collection, the Yale Herbarium is an internationally recognized repository with holdings of approximately 350,000 specimens from throughout the world. There are an estimated 5,000 type specimens. The collection is particularly rich in ferns, bryophytes and grasses, as well as in historically important materials from the early botanical collectors. In addition, it was the herbarium of record for the flora of southern New England from 1864 until 1955, when that function passed to the University of Connecticut at Storrs.

ZNP

Zion, Bryce, and Cedar Breaks Herbaria

Zion National Park manages a herbarium of over 3500 herbarium specimens. Zion also manages the herbaria from Cedar Breaks National Monument, over 900 specimens, and Bryce Canon National Monument, over 1800 specimens. These specimens provide baseline information about the natural environment of the three parks. These collections display the remarkable diversity at the convergence of three ecological provinces: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert. Zion’s collection represents over 95% of the confirmed 982 plant taxa in the park. The earliest specimens in the herbaria were collected in the 1920s with additions to the collection continuing today. Most of the specimens were collected from 1950s to 1980s.

NEON-APLC-HVCH

ASU-NEON Aquatic Plant, Bryophyte, and Macroalgae Collection (Herbarium Vouchers [Clip Harvests])

This collection contains aquatic plant, bryophyte, and macroalgae specimens collected as vouchers during clip harvest sampling (NEON sample class: apl_domainLab_in.sampleIDplant). Aquatic plant, bryophyte, and lichen clip harvest sampling is conducted once per year at wadeable streams (during the mid-summer aquatic biology window) and three times per year in rivers and lake sites. During the first and third bouts in rivers and lakes, only presence/absence of vegetation is noted; during the mid-summer bout, samples are collected via quadrats in wadeable streams, and rake collection in lakes and rivers. Ten samples are collected per site if plants are present. In wadeable streams, clip harvest samples are collected near plant transect locations. In lakes and rivers, ten randomly selected points are sampled at depths that are colonized by plants. See related links below for protocols and NEON related data products.

NEON-TPLC-HV

ASU-NEON Terrestrial Plant Collection (Herbarium Vouchers)

This collection contains terrestrial plant vouchers collected from select species during plant diversity sampling (NEON sample class: div_voucher_in.voucherSampleID.pla). Plant species diversity is measured once or twice annually in the field. The plot-based method yields plant species data at multiple scales that provide an understanding of changes in composition, distribution, and abundance of native and non-native plant species. The data is comparable within and across NEON sites and to other continental plant diversity efforts to allow for a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of the drivers of change on the diversity of plant species and the functional role they play in ecological systems. A subset of observed plant species is collected and archived. These vouchers are housed at NEON facilities for reference and archived in the NEON Biorepository's herbarium. See related links below for protocols and NEON related data products.

PFBP-Observations

Prairie Fen Biodiversity Project

Since 2012, the Prairie Fen Biodiversity Project (PFBP) has collected baseline plant diversity data in prairie fens to investigate drivers of biodiversity in these diverse systems. Prairie fen wetlands are globally vulnerable wetlands that provide habitat for over 35 state (i.e., Michigan) and federally listed species and function at the headwaters for several major watersheds. These at risk habitats are of high conservation concern and are heavily managed at the local, state, and federal level.

The Prairie Fen Biodiversity Project began in 2012 as a part of the Master's thesis of Central Michigan University student Rachel A Hackett working with Professor Anna K Monfils. The project was continued and expanded by Clint D Pogue in 2014, and has since been a focus of the graduate students in Monfils' laboratory. The original project focused on plant diversity which has expanded to several listed species and pollinators of prairie fen wetlands.

This project has expanded into a Prairie Fen Research Collaborative (https://www.researchgate.net/project/Prairie-Fen-Research-Collaborative) that includes several Central Michigan University professors and studies and scientists at the Michigan Natural Features Inventory. The goal of the Prairie Fen Research Collaborative is to conduct research that addresses knowledge gaps hindering the conservation of prairie fen biodiversity and improve the efficacy of prairie fen research, monitoring, and management. By accruing knowledge and creating new tools, we help a variety of agencies and organizations working to conserve prairie fens for the benefit of unique species and people.

SWSP-Observations

Southwest Seed Partnership

The Southwest Seed Partnership (SWSP) arose in October 2015 to establish a network for native, genetically appropriate seeds while advocating for a new industry standard. Parallel to the National Seed Strategy, the vision of this collaborative effort is to assess and prioritize plant populations, to collect and track wild seed, and to collaborate and coordinate with farmers and conservationists in order to increase the commercial availability of genetically diverse, locally sourced seed for restoration, rehabilitation, and reclamation projects in the Southwest. The SWSP hopes to support the native seed industry by consolidating demand and acting as a liaison between consumers and seed producers.
