Preserving plants
RAMM has many thousands of plant specimens in its collections, collectively called herbaria. Divisions in which we have significant collections include stoneworts, clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, conifers and flowering plants.
However, unlike the bird and mammal taxidermy in RAMM's collections the preserved plants have not been mounted with display purposes in mind. Most are pressed and stored on herbarium sheets, others are kept in alcohol or between glass, and some are decoratively arranged in photograph albums.
