Question

Write two purposes of herbarium and botanical garden? ​

Answer 1

Answer : Both Herbariums and Botanical gardens are taxonomical aids  . In simple words , these are tools used by biologists to store and preserve the information as well as the specimens

Explanation:

1) HERBARIUM / DRY GARDEN :

• Herbariums is a storehouse of collected  plant specimens that are dried , pressed and preserved on sheet . These specimens , along with their descriptions on herbarium sheets , become a store house or repository for future use .

• herbaria also serve as quick referral systems in taxonomic studies

2) BOTANICAL GARDEN :

• These are specialised gardens which have collections of living plants for reference .
• These are also useful for identification purposes and each plant is labelled indicating its botanical / scientific name and its family.
