Alexwe're working on a fun science project at Wintergreen Studios this summer. In the interest of tallying and identifying all the species of plants on our land, we're constructing a herbarium. A herbarium is essentially a library of plants, a vast collection that catalogs the species composition in our surrounding area. When a plant is picked, it needs to be dried out and then mounted on a rigid piece of cardboard for display.Each entry is a single plant along with particular attributes:the plant itself, identified with its family, genus, and speciesthe precise (GPS) location where the plant was founda short description of the habitat where the plant was foundthe name of the person who collected the plant and the name of the identifierthe plant's cataloging numberthe date on which the plant was pickedthe name of the institution where the plant is storedWhen picking a plant, it is important to have all of its parts.
