1987年由吉姆·哈里斯博士创立。
自成立以来,犹他谷大学植物标本室已经发展到超过18000个标本。 The herbarium houses an ever expanding and irreplaceable collection of plant species representing ecosystems in Utah and North America. This specialized natural history museum is especially valuable to undergraduate researchers as it is an easily accessible, on-campus resource providing hands-on experiential learning for all students from all disciplines. Our vascular and non-vascular plant and lichen collections afford research opportunities ranging from biotechnology to field studies. The 植物标本 is located on UVU’s main campus (800 W。 大学百汇, Orem Ut. 84032) in room 277 of the Science Building (SB 277).
It was a proud moment more than 20 years ago when the herbarium met the criteria to be accepted into the New York Botanical Garden, Index Herbariorum http://sweetgum.nybg.org/college-of-science/ih/. UVSC (which derives from the institution’s former name of Utah Valley State College) is the permanent acronym assigned by the Index Herbariorum. All other herbaria and museums know the UVU标本 by this acronym.
A major goal in UVU’s herbarium is collecting and conserving new material with as little specimen perturbation as possible; using whole plant gluing on all new collections is avoided. 这些藏品从来都不需要熏蒸。 These collections will provide high quality material intended for DNA extraction and supporting molecular taxonomic and phylogenetic work.
UVU’s 植物标本 and Native Plant 研究 Garden also have seeds to share via an Index seminum. This Index seminum is a free seed sharing program for academic research, research garden improvement and more.
