Abstract: [Extract] An herbarium is a collection of preserved plants (or parts of plants); a museum for plants, if you like. It may be a small private collection or a large institutional collection such as the various Australian State and Territory herbaria. The largest Australian herbarium, the National Herbarium at the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research in Canberra, holds over 1.2 million specimens. The largest herbarium in the world, the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, holds almost nine million specimens.
