Herbaria

[A. Ali Nawaz]

Hi Taxacomers,

In our institute, establishing a herbarium is under discussion. My question to the list is

"What are the socio-economic aspects of a herbarium" having or not having a botanic garden
associated with it or vice-versa. Learned directors, keepers, curators and list members are
requested to emit their knowledge and experience in this regard.

Thanks
