herbarium| Collection of dried, pressed plants used as an aid to identification of unknown plants and by taxonomists in the classification of plants. The plant specimens are accompanied by information, such as the date and place of collection, by whom collected, details of habitat, flower colour, and local names. |
| Herbaria range from small collections containing plants of a limited region, to the large university and national herbaria (some at botanical gardens) containing millions of specimens from all parts of the world. |

| He doesn't envision that even herbaria, the bastions of botanical nomenclature, will suffer huge shocks. Marie-Madeleine Fontaine has carefully glossed the rare extant copies and enriched the text with over 1,000 pages of commentary drawn from original sources in Aneau's Lyons, and in sources that pertain to alchemy, herbaria, anatomies, political tracts, and cosmographies. The records with tantalizing old specimens in two California herbaria did not pinpoint the location, and no one had collected a live specimen in years. |
