ISC

Ada Hayden Herbarium at Iowa State University

The Ada Hayden Herbarium has the largest collection of Iowa plants and fungi, containing over 600,000 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.

NFLD

Agnes Marion Ayre Herbarium (Memorial University of Newfoundland)

The Agnes Marion Ayre Herbarium (NFLD) is located in St. John's, NL, Canada and is part of the Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. Agnes Marion Ayre (1890-1940) of St. John's, though an amateur botanist, made remarkable contributions to documenting the flora of the province through her field notes, preserved specimens and botanical illustrations. She is particularly well known for her botanical drawings, which were meticulous. Unfortunately, much of her work was lost following her death; however, what remains is housed at NFLD and in the Archives and Special Collections of the Queen Elizabeth II Library. The herbarium houses 40,000 vascular plant specimens collected mostly in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and representing over 3,300 species from more than 1,000 genera within 176 families of angiosperms, 26 of pteridophytes and six of gymnosperms. 60,000 bryophyte specimens mainly from the province, but also from other Holarctic regions of the world. And 35,000 marine algae specimens of eastern Canada and the Arctic. The lichen collection is currently being digitized and represents collections both within and outside of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

BRIT

Botanical Research Institute of Texas - Lichens

Over one million plant specimens are housed in the BRIT Herbarium (the combined BRIT-SMU and VDB collections), making this the largest independent herbarium in the southeastern US. The herbarium has strengths in the plants of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, the Gulf Coast, and the southeastern United States. However, these collections are worldwide in scope, and most of the Earth’s plant families are represented here. Two of our current research projects, one in Peru and one in Papua New Guinea, have greatly expanded the scope of our collection of tropical specimens.

COL-Lichens

Herbario Nacional Colombiano

El Herbario Nacional Colombiano (COL), del Instituto de Ciencias Naturales de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia fue fundado en 1936 por el Padre Enrique Pérez Arbeláez y posee cerca de 600.000 ejemplares, de los cuales cerca del el 10 % se encuentra en este recurso. La organización de los diferentes grupos taxonómicos presentes en el Herbario COL siguen a un autor con algunas modificaciones. En Gimnospermas y Angiospermas se sigue a Engler (1936). En Pteridófitas se sigue a Engler (1954). Briófitas (Hepáticas y Musgos) y Hongos Liquenizados se encuentran organizados en orden alfabético de géneros y especies; sin embargo, en la nomenclatura se sigue en Hepáticas a Yano & Gradstein (1997) y para los Musgos a Buck & Vitt (1986), en Hongos Liquenizados a Hanssen & Jahns (1974). En Hongos se sigue a Hawksworth et al. (1984). En la Carpoteca y la Palinoteca las familias, géneros y especies se encuentran organizadas alfabéticamente. Debido a esta organización, en algunos casos la taxonomía de este recurso no está actualizada a APG III. El número de catálogo puede tener duplicados. Para este caso se agrega una vocal al final, que no existe físicamente en el número sellado en el ejemplar, para poder diferenciar los números. El otro número de catálogo (otherCatalogNumbers) corresponde al código de barras que se le asigna a un ejemplar cuando es fotografiado. Adicionalmente, el Herbario Nacional Colombiano cuenta con un conjunto de Colecciones Especiales, organizadas independientemente, constituidas por: las Colecciones Históricas correspondientes a la Colección José Celestino Mutis (proveniente de la Expedición Botánica del Nuevo Reyno de Granada, llevada a cabo entre 1783 y 1816) con 598 ejemplares, la Colección José Jerónimo Triana (1851-1857, con 5.000 ejemplares), a partir de la que cual se inicio al Herbario Nacional Colombiano y una pequeña colección del fundador del Herbario (Colección Enrique Pérez Arbeláez, realizada en Europa entre 1919 y 1922, con 175 ejemplares)

GB

Herbarium GB, University of Gothenburg

This database contains information from Gothenburg herbarium, Herbarium GB. It is a university-wide research infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg in the Department of Biology and Environmental Science. The collections include about 1 million dried specimens from all corners of the world. The vascular plant collection is dominant and comprises about 750,000 specimens, while the other 250,000 specimens are mosses, algae, fungi, lichens and slime fungi. The vascular plants contain a rich Nordic material, but also large collections from the Middle East, the Mediterranean and tropical South America. The latter collection reflects the department's more than 50 years of research activities in the region, especially within the Flora of Ecuador project, and which has resulted in the following families being particularly richly represented: Asteraceae, Cyclanthaceae, Heliconiaceae, Marantaceae, Rubiaceae and Scrophulariaceae. Among the non-vascular plant collections, the mushroom collection is the largest and comprises about 100,000 specimens. This mainly consists of base fungi from Northern Europe, a large part of which are wood-degrading crust and bracket fungi. The herbarium also has collections of Psathyrellaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Lycoperdaceae, Inocybeaceae, Russulales and Boletales. Assignments of coordinates to many localities are primarily generated through Sweden's Virtual Herbarium workflow (http://herbarium.emg.umu.se/), which includes transformations from Swedish coordinate systems as well as coordinates for centroids representing geographic or political units. The GBIF dataset is harvested from Sweden's Virtual Herbarium after these georeferencing protocols have been applied, indicated for each record in dwc:georeferenceRemarks where the relevant protocol has been documented.

UME-L

Herbarium of Umeå University

Herbarium UME is a public research herbarium encompassing approximately 300 000 specimens of vascular plants, mosses, algae, fungi and lichens from all parts of the world, but mainly from northern Sweden. Herbarium UME is run by the Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences (EMG) at the University of Umeå, Sweden, and is a member of NAMSA (Co-operation Forum for Swedish Natural History Museums). The herbarium was founded in 1968 at the former Department for Ecological Botany. Originally, most material came from donations and exchange. Since then much material has been added from researchers collections, schools, private collections, inventories, local flora projects etc. The collections are still growing, and we are happy to recieve material from any part of Northern Fennoscandia. The aim of Herbarium UME is to preserve plant collections from northern Sweden, to give active support to the botanical exploration of the region and to encourage a proper documentation of the flora in connection with inventories, flora projects and research work. The dataset currently holds about 50000 bryophytes, 22000 lichens, 15000 fungi, 10000 vascular plants, and some algae. About a third of the collection at the herbarium is currently registered in the database.

LKHD

Lichen Collection of the Claude Garton Herbarium, Lakehead University

The Claude Garton Herbarium is located on the third floor (CB3027) of the Centennial Building at Lakehead University. It was established in 1967 and given the universal herbarium code of LKHD. We recently celebrated 50 years of its existence, and 150 years of botanical research in our region. The present and future focus is to keep it as a regional herbarium of Northwestern Ontario. However, through exchanges in the past, the herbarium has specimens from other regions of Canada and many other parts of the world. Currently the accessioned specimens number over 110,000 and of these there is an almost complete collection of the vascular plants of the Thunder Bay area, of which there are about 1000 species. These include the conifers, flowering plants, ferns, clubmosses and horsetails. The herbarium also contains a good representation of the local non-vascular plants: approximately 300 species of mosses; about 100 species of liverworts and approximately 200 species of lichens (which represent only about half of the local species). Substantial exchanges in the past with Finland, in particular, have added more boreal specimens of lichens and bryophytes. The vascular plant specimens of the districts of Thunder Bay, Rainy River, Kenora, Sudbury, Algoma and Cochrane that are stored in the herbarium are being entered into our computer database. All NW Ontario records are being checked, barcoded and digitally photographed for posting on Lakehead University Library Archival website. These records will be gradually linked to our herbarium's Collections tab and made available world-wide. In the past, through a partnership program with Algoma University College, records from our herbarium (to about 2005) could be accessed through the Northern Ontario Plant Database from Sault Ste. Marie. This older partial database may still be available. The Claude Garton Herbarium is open to the public (call to confirm hours of operation). Kristi Dysievick is the present curator, having replaced Emma Lehmberg (2016-2018) and previously Erika North, who resigned from a long engagement with the herbarium in 2016. Loans of specimens are usually reserved for institutions that are carrying out research such as plant distributions and taxonomic revisions. The herbarium is currently limiting its intake of physical specimen and strongly encourages submissions of new observations on the iNaturalist platform.

Lichen Herbarium of the Patuxent Research Refuge - Maryland

Welcome to the Lichen Herbarium of the Patuxent Research Refuge

Established in 1936 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Patuxent Research Refuge is the nation's only national wildlife refuge established to support wildlife research. It is located between Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD. At the time of the Refuge's establishment 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 April 2018, the herbarium holds over 5,000 voucher specimens from over 1,250 taxa found on the Refuge. This includes a number of Maryland rare, threatened, and endangered (RTE) species, as well as at least five species new to Maryland. A number of duplicate and unique voucher specimens are held by other herbaria. With the collaboration of the Mid-Atlantic Herbarium and the Norton-Brown Herbarium at the University of Maryland, 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.

VPI

Massey Herbarium (Virginia Tech)

The small lichen collection at Virginia Tech consists mostly of Virginia collections (96%). The great majority of these are voucher specimens collected for air quality monitoring studies on national forest lands and donated by the George Washington-Jefferson National Forest. These were determined by James Lawrey, Larry St. Clair, and Jonathan Dey. A legacy collection from the Bull Run Mountains collected by H.A. Allard from 1937 to 1939 consists of 65 specimens. Physiographically, most collections are from montane regions, less than 10% from the Piedmont, and the Coastal Plain is essentially unrepresented. Most specimens are of the foliose or fruticose type, with only a few crustose or sub-crustose. The lichen collection is growing slowing with new accessions coming from diverse areas and habitats.

Norwegian University of Science and Technology University Museum

The NTNU University Museum is one of six university museums in Norway and is a part of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. The Museum is located at Kalvskinnet in the centre of Trondheim, along with its exhibitions, collections, administration and three of its sections. The Archaeometry Section is located at the Gløshaugen campus of NTNU. Ringve Botanical Gardens can be found at Lade, on the outskirts of Trondheim, and the Kongsvoll Alpine Garden is found in Kongsvoll, in Dovrefjell National Park. The NTNU University Museum has its origins in the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (DKNVS), founded in 1760. In 1926, the Society was reorganized into two sections: the Academy and the Museum. In 1968, the Norwegian Parliament approved a resolution to found the University of Trondheim and the Museum was transferred to the University on 1 April 1984. Further reorganization of the University led to the establishment of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) on 1 January 1996. Since 2005, the NTNU University Museum has been treated at the same level as the University faculties, with representation on the Council of Deans and the Central University Research Committee.

SD Herbarium, San Diego Natural History Museum - Lichens

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.

BALT

Towson University Biodiversity Center

The herbarium (BALT) was formally organized in 1967 under the directorship of Dr. Mary Castelli. Two years following its establishment, Dr. Donald Windler joined the faculty and became the curator of the collection. Following the retirement of Dr. Windler (in 2003), Dr. Roberts assumed the directorship of the collections. During Dr. Windler’s tenure, the collection grew extensively. The core collection is built around a donation of specimens from the Maryland Natural History Society. The donation includes specimens from as early as 1864 and represents historic records of species distribution in Maryland and the mid-Atlantic region.

FTU

University of Central Florida Herbarium

Established by President Trevor Colbourn in 1983, the UCF Arboretum began with approximately 12 acres (4.9 ha) of a disturbed pond pine (Pinus serotina) community just east side of the developed area of campus, and east of the present biology building. In 1988, at President Altman’s direction, the University expanded the Arboretum to include a 5-acre (2.0 ha) Cypress dome, an oak hammock of about 3 acres (1.2 ha), and about 15 acres (6.1 ha) of sand pine and Florida scrub, connected to the original Arboretum by a saw palmetto (Sabal palmetto) community and increasingly rare Florida longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) flatwoods. Currently, the official Arboretum Boundary encompasses approximately 82 acres (33.2 ha). The original Arboretum director was Dr. Henry O. Whittier, a professor in the Biology Department who remained director until his retirement 2003. Dr. Martin Quigley was director from 2003-2009.

NCU, located in the center of the UNC-CH campus, welcomes visitors & researchers; contact Curator for information on hours & parking. STATEMENT ON OFFENSIVE CONTENT ON SPECIMEN LABELS: Collection records at NCU may contain language that reflects historical place or taxon names in an original form that is no longer acceptable or appropriate in an inclusive environment. Because NCU preserves data in their original form to retain authenticity and facilitate research, we have chosen to facilitate conversations and are committed to address the problem of racial, derogatory and demeaning language that may be found in our database. Insensitive or offensive language is not condoned by NCU. We recognize the land and sovereignty of Native & Indigenous nations in Chapel Hill, in North Carolina, in North America, and across the world. The North Carolina Botanical Garden and the North Carolina Botanical Garden Foundation acknowledge that the story told about the history of the land we steward has been incomplete. Before the Morgans and Masons, these lands were home to multiple tribes and the ancestors of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, who persist locally to this day. We recognize that at least one of the adjacent lands we steward, Mason Farm Biological Reserve, was first cleared, cultivated, and worked by Native Americans and later by African enslaved people. We invite you to reflect on our individual and community roles in knowing important and untold stories about the land we each steward.
