Index Herbariorum

The Index Herbariorum is a comprehensive, global directory that catalogs all registered herbarium collections—places where plant specimens are stored and studied. Managed by the New York Botanical Garden, it provides information on herbarium names, locations, and staff, serving as a key resource for botanists, researchers, and institutions to access and share plant data. This system helps coordinate botanical research, conservation efforts, and the study of plant diversity worldwide by ensuring accurate identification and networking among collections.
