The Herbarium

TCD herbarium houses all sorts of plant material collected from all over the world. Its collections encompass many different plant groups ranging from fungi, through algae, mosses and liverworts, to ferns, conifers, cycads and flowering plants (Angiosperms). It is one of only two herbaria in Ireland (the other is that of the National Botanic Garden at Glasnevin). On such a world-scale the TCD herbarium ranks as of exceptionally high importance because of the unique material it contains.
