What is harbarium?how to make harbarium.
Answers
Explanation:
herbarium is a great way to either display or keep track of dried plant specimens. There are so many ways you can create your own herbarium collection, but today we’re going to cover my 4 favorite methods – bound, framed, loose-leaf, and displayed as a collection.
When Jon and I were living in our studio in southern California, one of the places we liked to visit when we felt like escaping our little concrete jungle was a demonstration garden that was about a half hour drive from us. The Master Gardeners in our area ran the garden and used it as a place to test different gardening methods, hold gardening classes, and inspire people to grow their own edibles. We used to love going there because it was quiet and peaceful and there were a lot of different plants and herbs there.
That garden inspired me to create my first decorative herbarium collection – a piece for our wall that would bring a little bit of the outdoors into our small space. We spent a few days gathering different leaves and flowers and things that we found on our walks and I pressed and dried them before arranging them in a large frame and hanging the finished piece on our wall.
That original herbarium is long gone now, but building different kinds of herbaria has since become one of my favorite things to do with samples of plant material from our garden and walks. I’ve also taken to using an herbarium-style approach to building my own Materia Medica, which I’ll talk about in more detail a little later.
The Essentials
The things you’ll need regardless of how you choose to style your herbarium include:
a flower press (a homemade one is quite simple; use two 12×12″ pieces of wood and a strand of rope)
access to fresh plant specimens (leaves, flowers, other plant parts)
sheets of cardboard (use recycled pieces from the boxes your packages arrive in)
plant identification

Herbarium is a store house of plants species where it is collected, pressed, dried and preserved.
- It is a quick referral system.
- The standard size of herbarium is 11.5×16.5 inches.
The steps of preparing herbarium are :-
1. Collection of the plant species.
2. Drying or pressing.
3. Poisoning by the addition of ethyl chloride.
4. Mounting, itching and labelling in which the dates, local names and scientific names are assigned to the preserved species.
5. Deposition by phylogenic or in India by Berman and Hooker classification.
