Solution:
  • A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens and associated data used for scientific study.

  • The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper (called “exsiccatae”) but, depending upon the material, may also be stored in boxes or kept in alcohol or another preservative. The specimens in a herbarium are often used as reference material in describing plant taxa; some specimens may be types.
