WELCOME TO THE UCLA HERBARIUM!
The UCLA Herbarium serves as a one-of-a-kind resource for the wider Los Angeles community in promoting the preservation and identification of plants.
Our collections consist of approximately 150,000 dried and pressed plant specimens with a special focus on California and the Western United States, and expanding interest in similar Mediterranean-climate regions of the world. In addition, the Herbarium maintains a repository of voucher specimens from ecological studies conducted by UCLA researchers as well as a special library of botanical literature and journals.
