Program Information

"The Stanislaus State Herbarium houses and catalogs thousands of plant specimens, with more added regularly. The extensive collection contains samples spanning decades, with some dating all the way back to the 1930s.

There are over 7500 plant specimens currently lodged and databased in the collections. Stan State students are the primary collectors and curators, working tirelessly to ensure that all specimens are properly sorted and protected so that they may benefit science now and for years to come. The collection emphasizes native plants in Stanislaus and adjacent counties, but also includes collections from across California and outside of the state."
