What is the CEMML Herbarium?

The CEMML herbarium is a collection of plant specimens that have been collected by CEMML and other personnel at military bases throughout North America, Hawaii, and at some locations in Europe. The entire collection from North America is available for examination and a subset of the collection is available for loan. The herbarium contains voucher specimens from nearly every taxon collected at our client bases. As of Februar 2007 the collection contained over 32,300 specimens, representing over 8200 distinct taxa.

Nomenclature Policies of the CEMML Herbarium

The CEMML herbarium collection has been updated to follow nomenclature assigned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Plant List of Accepted Nomenclature, Taxonomy, and Symbols (PLANTS) where appropriate. We have chosen to use the PLANTS database as it is currently the most comprehensive database available for the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Additionally, PLANTS is used extensively by CEMML's client and coordinating agencies.

The vascular plant nomenclature, most phytogeography, and other accompanying data found in PLANTS for the plants known to occur within North America were provided under a cooperative agreement by John Kartesz and his staff at the Biota of North America Program (BONAP). Portions of these data are copyrighted (c 1994) by John Kartesz and his staff at North America Program. The copyright notice must be preserved on all copies. Any user who alters any part of the Cooperator derived data cannot redistribute it as PLANTS data. All users of vascular PLANTS data are to acknowledge the contributions made by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and BONAP.
