Comprising some 1.1 million preserved plant specimens, the Cambridge University Herbarium represents over more than 300 years of discovery, with specimens collected from all over the world. Many of the 19th century plants were collected by some of the great Victorian scientists and explorers, including Henslow, Darwin, Wallace, Lindley, Douglas, and Spruce. Find out about the treasures which are being discovered in this extraordinary collection, part of the Department of Plant Sciences, and why these specimens are so important today for scientific as well as historical research.
