Herbarium information
The herbarium of Clemson University was initially organized
between the turn of the century and 1905 by a group of botanists who
lectured and were often called upon to identify plant specimens for the
general public. The herbarium (a collection of pressed, dried plants, and
plant parts) was used to verify identifications and keep a more or less
permanent documentation of the flora of South Carolina. These are still the
primary uses of the Clemson University Herbarium today. A more detailed
history can be accessed from this link.
