National Herbarium of New South Wales, Botanical research center at Mount Annan, Australia
The National Herbarium of New South Wales maintains over 1.4 million plant specimens in a dedicated scientific facility at the Australian Botanic Garden.
Founded in 1853, the herbarium preserves collections from Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander gathered during their HMS Endeavour expedition to Australia in 1770.
The institution publishes Telopea journal, contributing to botanical knowledge across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region with research about New South Wales flora.
Researchers and institutions worldwide can request specimen loans and access the digital collection of over one million high-resolution botanical images.
The herbarium houses the Daniel Solander Library, named after the naturalist who accompanied James Cook during his first Pacific exploration voyage.
