Botany Collections
More than 111,000 botanical specimens are housed in the herbarium. This is one of three primary collections of Illinois flora in the state. It includes the internationally significant Cutler-Blake ethnobotanical collection of prehistoric cultivated plants that represent much of the primary evidence for early American Indian plant domestication in North America.
