A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens, typically pressed and dried, that are kept in a bound book or organized collection for study and reference. These collections are valuable for documenting plant species, their characteristics, and how plant life has changed over time, as shown by examples like this one created by Flemish botanist Bernardus Wynhouts in 1633.
