About the MTSU Herbarium

The MTSU Herbarium (MTSU; Curator Jeffrey Walck) is part of the Tennessee Herbarium Consortium (THC) and the Southeastern Regional Network of Expertise and Collections (SERNEC). We have over 24,000 specimens, and the collection is organized by APG III following Haston et al. (2009). Our collection has a regional focus, with a major emphasis on student collections from undergraduate and graduate coursework. We are located in room 1056C in the Science Building on the MTSU campus.

As part of the SERNEC network, our collections are available in the SERNEC portal hosted by Symbiota. We are currently barcoding, imaging, and skeletally databasing all specimens and making those data available in the portal.
