Long Description:From the
University of Florida Herbarium website:
The University of Florida Herbarium is a unit of the
Department of Natural History of the Florida Museum of Natural
History. The herbarium is affiliated with the Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences, Florida Agricultural Experiment Station,
Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Department of Botany and the
Department of Plant Pathology. The FLAS acronym is the standard
international abbreviation for the University of Florida Herbarium.
It is derived from the herbarium's early association with the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
Our mission focuses in plant collections acquisition and
care, research based on the collections, education and public
service.
The herbarium and the associated paleobotanical collection
have combined holdings of approximately 1/2 million
specimens.
Our computer databases and image galleries are being
developed with a thematic focus. The collections catalog includes
ca. 40,000 searchable specimens. Digital image sets include the
herbarium's type specimens, potentially invasive, insectivorous,
poisonous and endangered plants of Florida and the Floristic
Inventory of Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.
