Functioning primarily as a research facility important for taxonomic studies (occurrence, distribution, and relationships of plants), it is also used for identifying unknown plants. Specimens are loaned to specialists at other institutions around the world to support research. Loans from other institutions allow our researchers access to other herbaria. Recently, herbaria have become a source of materials to use in molecular studies and to support basic research on biodiversity.Iowa State University, Ada Hayden Herbarium[1] 515/ 294-9499dlewis@iastate.eduhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7842-1866https://www.herbarium.iastate.edu/Iowa State University, 319 Bessey HallAmesIowa50011-4009USALewisDeborahdlewis@iastate.eduCuratorhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7842-1866contentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2024-03-29T03:34:09-07:00Southern Rocky Mountain Herbaria - 83a4a856-c858-4446-b960-6add158a653bUTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://www.soroherbaria.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=134ISCIowa State University, Ada Hayden Herbariumhttps://swbiodiversity.org/seinet/content/collicon/isc.jpghttps://www.herbarium.iastate.edu/http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/LewisDeborahdlewis@iastate.eduCuratorhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7842-1866<p>The <strong>Ada Hayden Herbarium</strong> has the largest collection of Iowa plants and fungi, containing over 650,000 specimens of vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens.
