The OSU Herbarium Type Specimens Collection

The Oregon State University Herbarium is an essential resource for biodiversity research in the region. With over 400,000 specimens, it maintains the world's largest collection of Oregon plant and fungal specimens. We have imaged the 2000 type specimens in our collection, and digitized the original descriptions (known as protologues) of the 1350 plant taxa represented by these specimens. The type collection is a pressed herbarium specimen upon which the original description was based and thus has central importance in the science of plant taxonomy.
