Organized systematically, it includes millions of pressed plants, fungi, and algae from around the world. These specimens help scientists study plant diversity, understand ecological relationships, and identify species. The Herbarium supports efforts to protect endangered plants and track environmental changes. It is a vital resource for botanists, conservationists, and educators, providing valuable insights into the planet’s botanical heritage and the importance of preserving plant life for future generations.
