The University of Texas Herbarium (TEX) is part of the Plant Resources Center, which houses the combined herbaria of TEX and the Lundell Herbarium (LL). The combined PRC collections include over one million specimens from all parts of the world and represent the fifth largest university herbarium in the United States (with the fourth largest university collection of vascular plants). The two herbaria (TEX and LL) are completely integrated and interfiled, although each sheet is marked as to its herbarium and should be cited as such. The University of Texas Herbarium itself, with close to 700,000 specimens, dates to the 1890s and is especially strong in Texas and Mexican specimens. It has been associated with a plant systematics graduate program that has been one of the strongest in the U.S. since the 1960s, and the research interests of faculty, staff and graduate students have led to very strong representation of Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Rhamnaceae, among other families, as well as the Chihuahuan Desert region (Mexico and the U.S.) and the mountains and plains of northeastern Mexico. All new specimens received into the Plant Resources Center are now accessioned into TEX.

Specimens of Lycophytas and Monilophytas, corresponding to the families Lycopodiaceae, Isoetaceae, Ophioglossaceae, Grammitaceae, Azollaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Aspleniaceae, Athyriaceae, Aspidiaceae, Blechnaceae, Gleicheniaceae on herbarium sheets. The specimens were collected in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands, Argentina between 1967 and 2009.

The William and Lynda Steere Herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden holds a collection of more than seven million preserved specimens. All plant groups – flowering plants, conifers, ferns, mosses, liverworts, and algae, as well as, fungi and lichens – are represented in the Herbarium collection, which is particularly strong in specimens from the Americas. Digitization of all groups is underway, with more than 4.2 million specimens barcoded and 3.2 million specimens imaged.

The Oregon State University Herbarium houses approximately 550,000 vascular plant, bryophyte, algal, and fungal specimens. The collections are worldwide in scope, with a focus on the state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

The ROM Invertebrate Palaeontology Collection is the second largest collection of this type in Canada (after the Geological Survey of Canada) and represents an irreplaceable systematic resource for researchers and students around the world about invertebrate fossils, fossilized plants, trace fossils, and microbial structures. The collection consists of about half a million specimens, including ca. 700 Holotypes, ca. 3,000 Paratypes, and ca. 10,000 figured and referred specimens.

The collection is global in scope with scientifically significant material spanning the entire geological column and holds the largest and most comprehensive Burgess Shale collection in the world on behalf of Parks Canada. Highlights of our collection are prominently featured in the newly opened Willner Madge Gallery, Dawn of Life.

Founded in 1927, The Margaret H. Fulford Herbarium at the University of Cincinnati (CINC) is the third largest of Ohio’s 17 herbaria. Our collection contains an estimated 118,500 specimens. 

Housing approximately 445,000 specimens, including 400,000 vascular plant specimens, 40,000 lichens, and smaller holdings of bryophytes and non-lichenized fungi, the R. L. McGregor Herbarium (KANU) is dedicated to the study of the flora of the Great Plains, the grassland biome of central North America. The greater part of vascular plant and lichen specimens deposited in KANU represent the flora of the Great Plains and herbarium staff is involved in taxonomic and floristic studies of the region. Our goal is to expand our understanding of past and current botanical diversity of the Great Plains and to preserve this knowledge for the future. Specimens are digitized using Specify 6. To date, approximately 300,000 (67%) of all holdings have been computerized; of these, approximately 105,000 vascular plant specimens have been imaged, as well.

Worldwide, especially temperate North America and the Great Lakes region. Specific strengths include marine algae of eastern North America, West Indies, Alaska, and Pacific Islands; bryophytes of tropical America; Agaricaceae and Hymenogastraceae of western North America; vascular plants of Mexico, Iran, Himalayas, southwestern Pacific Region, and southeastern Asia; Cyperaceae, Malpighiaceae, and Myrtaceae of the New World.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Herbarium (NCU) is a department within the North Carolina Botanical Garden of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The vascular plant collection is world-wide in scope with focus on the native flora of the southeastern United States. NCU also curates plant fossils, fungi, lichens, bryophytes, & macroalgae. NCU is open to the public & welcomes researchers; contact Curator to reserve on-campus parking permit. STATEMENT ON OFFENSIVE CONTENT ON SPECIMEN LABELS: Collection records at NCU may contain language that reflects historical place or taxon names in an original form that is no longer acceptable or appropriate in an inclusive environment. Because NCU preserves data in their original form to retain authenticity and facilitate research, we have chosen to facilitate conversations and are committed to address the problem of racial, derogatory and demeaning language that may be found in our database. Insensitive or offensive language is not condoned by NCU. We recognize the land and sovereignty of Native and Indigenous nations in Chapel Hill, in North Carolina, in North America, and across the world. The North Carolina Botanical Garden and the North Carolina Botanical Garden Foundation acknowledge that the story told about the history of the land we steward has been incomplete. Before the Morgans and Masons, these lands were home to multiple tribes and the ancestors of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, who persist locally to this day. We recognize that at least one of the adjacent lands we steward, Mason Farm Biological Reserve, was first cleared, cultivated, and worked by Native Americans and later by African enslaved people. We invite you to reflect on our individual and community roles in knowing important and untold stories about the land we each steward.
