Welcome!

The Kansas State University Herbarium is a research natural history museum of dried plant specimens numbering approximately 200,000. The collection has a regional focus on the Great Plains of central North America, and is particularly significant for its historical holdings from the late 1800s.

 

What's new?
All Kansas and North American vascular plant specimens (>129,000) have been databased! Herbarium databasing is ongoing for specimens from outside of North America and we will soon begin to database our 8,000+ bryophyte specimens. Data can be accessed in a variety of ways. Please see the Database Access page for information. (9/25/2009)
