Pressed plants are the “bread and butter” of the herbarium. Valuable for scientific reference, they are often objects of beauty. Come help us mount our backlog of specimens collected by such giants of Southeastern botany as Albert Radford and C. Ritchie Bell. Learn methods that have been passed down through generations and are still used today, and take home a guide to mounting pressed plants. Meet in the herbarium on the first floor of Spencer Hall.
