herbarium

Translation
herbarium
a) A collection of dried plants or parts of plants.

With fresh material, taxonomic conclusions are leavened by recognition that the material examined reflects the site it occupied; a herbarium packet gives one only a small fraction of the data desirable for sound conclusions. Herbarium material does not, indeed, allow one to extrapolate safely: what you see is what you get

b) A building or institution where such a collection is kept.
