External Resources

The University Herbarium provides a range of resources including modern floras in its reference library, seed and pollen reference collections and considerable staff expertise. As well as the wealth of information and specimens we have on site, the herbarium staff collated some additional information on societies and institutions relevant to the herbarium.
