Michigan State University Herbarium

~Stewardship, Biodiversity, Awareness~

Our mission is to document plant biodiversity in support of research, teaching, and outreach for Michigan State University. We assist the Department of Plant Biology in research from molecules to ecosystems by providing stewardship of, and access to, over 500,000 well-curated specimens and associated data for use in a broad array of scholarly activities. Our efforts advance student learning, public outreach, and a broader understanding of the plant and fungal heritage of Michigan and the world.
