This document outlines the protocol for sample collection from Herbarium specimens. The Herbarium houses a vast collection of plant specimens, managed by a designated individual. This person is responsible for selecting specimens suitable for research or other purposes.
When collecting plant material, it is crucial to maintain homogeneity by choosing parts that are similar in size and appearance. Furthermore, the amount of dry material collected should not exceed 50 milligrams. While this may seem small, it ensures that ample material remains accessible to other users.
The primary objective is to utilize the Herbarium's resources responsibly and sustainably, ensuring its value as a critical resource for future generations.
