A sample of Leguminosae collected by William MacGillivray in Aberdeenshire

The Herbarium is the only significant plant collection in the north of Scotland. Within the collection, there is special emphasis on British (especially Scottish) and south-east Asian (especially Thailand) material. The Herbarium also holds notable collections from other European and Asian locations and from North America. There is no display area at the Herbarium, therefore changing displays of material from the permanent collection can be seen in the University’s Zoology Museum, Old Aberdeen Campus.

To study the collection, please telephone in advance. The Herbarium welcomes enquiries.
