No smoking, food, or drink is permitted inside the collections area. In order to control herbarium pests, incoming specimens are frozen for 48 hours or more. If this is not possible, please contact a member of the herbarium staff and we will make other arrangements. Please close herbarium cases when not in use Keep specimen folders horizontal when removing from the cases. Dissections or loose plant fragments should be put into packets attached to the sheet.
Additional packets are available from the staff.
Visiting specialists are encouraged to annotate specimens using permanent ink on annotation labels. Pens and labels are available from the herbarium staff. Please provide the name of the investigator and date of annotation. Clip annotation labels to packets or sheets and the staff will glue them. Alternatively, leave the determinations on the top of the stack of specimens and the staff will make and attach the annotation labels.
