Welcome to the Emory University Herbarium! We are home to more than 21,000 plant specimens, dating back to the late 1800s. The majority of our collection is composed of plants from the southeast USA, but new collection efforts are expanding our reach as far as the Mediterranean and Australia! Other exciting activities ongoing at the herbarium include our digitization project. With the support of a generous donation, we were able to make our dream of capturing digital images and databasing the entire collection a reality ! These digital images of our specimens add great value to the collection by increasing global access to this amazing resource. We aim to incorporate these resources into botanical research and educational outreach initiatives at Emory and beyond. Visit the SERNEC Portal to view images and collection data on more than 20,000 of Emory’s specimens online.

The Orchid Conservation Alliance partners with organizations and foundations in orchid rich regions to protect the native habitats of orchids. Creating reserves preserves numerous orchid species, often including undiscovered forms, as well as the ecosystem in which they exist. Critical for orchid conservation in the wild, preservation of habitat protects pollinators as well as birds, amphibians, mammals, other plants, and even fungi.
