Native Plant Society of Texas, North Central Chapter Meeting
The History, Art, and Science of Herbaria
At the heart of botanical science, you can find a herbarium: a scientific collection of preserved plants that documents knowledge about plant life on Earth. In this presentation, you should expect to better understand how botanical specimens are collected from around the world, how they are preserved (since the 1500s!), and how they are an essential part of naming and understanding our world flora. You’ll learn what value herbarium specimens represent to science, and hopefully gain an appreciation for the way art, history, and science manifest in these tangible objects that curators preserve for generations to come.
