«The University Herbarium, begun in 1761, houses an internationally famous collection of over 1 million pressed, mounted, and named plant specimens arranged in systematic order. Specimens from around the world have been added to the collection as a result of purchases, gifts, exchanges and benefactions. The Herbarium, contains some 50,000 type specimens. It is famous for its historic collections, for example, the plant specimens collected by Charles Darwin on the voyage of the 'Beagle', and the John Lindley Herbarium with its many new species collected on nineteenth-century expeditions to unexplored places in North America and Australia.
