- Abstract
"In the Herbarium: The Hidden World of Collecting and Preserving Plants" by Maura C. Flannery is a book that explores the history and significance of herbaria. The author discusses topics such as biodiversity, exploration, and the digitization of plant data. Flannery also emphasizes the value of well-labelled herbaria for tracking climate change and collaborative study. While the book provides an accessible overview for beginning students of botanical history, it also offers insights for those interested in science policies, collection decolonization, and environmental sustainability.
