Abstract
Herbaria are repositories of preserved plant collections; these are usually in the form of pressed and dried plant specimens mounted on a sheet of paper. The purpose of herbaria is both to physically contain the plant collections and to act as centers for research. The plant collections themselves function as vouchers for identification and as sources of material for systematic work. Herbaria also may house numerous geographic and taxonomic references, particularly floras or manuals that may aid in plant identification. In addition to housing plant collections, many herbaria today have initiated computerized data information systems to record and access the collection information of the plant specimens, as well as to access information from other collections.
