Question

What is the meaning of herbarium specimens?

Answer 1

A herbarium is a collection of plant samples preserved for long-term study. These materials may include pressed and mounted plants, seeds, wood sections, pollen, microscope slides, frozen DNA extractions, and fluid-preserved flowers or fruits; all are generally referred to as herbarium specimens.

Herbarium specimens are useful as references for plant identification and for the determination of plant locations and ranges, abundance, habitat, and flowering and fruiting periods. They are used for studies in which the differences between plant species are evaluated and described (monographs) or in which the species growing in a region are reported (floras).

Answer 2

A herbarium specimen is a plant that is collect from the wild, pressed, dried, mounted on cardboard, and stored for permanent records (they are stored in a herbarium).  They serve as model plants from the area, or to document that a plant occurs in a certain area.

Well Simply you can refer it as "PLANT LIBRARY"

Herbarium specimen is a pressed plant sample deposited for future reference. It supports research work and may be examined to verify the identity of the specific plant used in a study.

It is a collection of plant samples preserved for long-term study.

A plant specimen is incomplete without label data. Label data is a form of field data and must be accurate, otherwise no use then.
