Herbaria, dried pressed plant specimens and their associated collections data and library materials, are remarkable and irreplaceable sources of information about plants and the world they inhabit.They provide the comparative material that is essential for studies in taxonomy, systematics, ecology, anatomy, morphology, conservation biology, biodiversity, ethnobotany, and paleobiology, as well as being used for teaching and by the public. They are a veritable gold mine of information. There are more than 60 million specimens in 628 herbaria in the USA, and 7 million specimens in 110 herbaria in Canada. Nearly 5 million are held at the US National Herbarium housed at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.
