The University of Florida Herbarium Library is a non-circulating
reference library of publications pertinent to the naming and classification
of vascular plants (plant taxonomy and nomenclature). The literature
in this collection contains descriptions, geographical ranges and keys
for differentiating species of vascular plants, as well as information
regarding latin plant names (nomenclature), plant collectors and economic
botany.
The herbarium library holdings include books, journals, reprints, microfiche,
maps, card files and botanical illustrations. The computerized catalog
includes only a portion of our book and reprint holdings. In-house card
catalogs are available to assist in locating other holdings.
