Collection Profile for:
Brigham Young University, S. L. Welsh Herbarium (BRY-V)
Vascular Plants. Curator: Leigh Johnson; Collections Manager: Robert Johnson. The herbarium has completed databasing the non-seed vascular plants, gymnosperms, and monocots with the exception of grasses. We are working though the dicots alphabetically by family, and have a scattering of other material completed. Some records that are incomplete, duplicate sheets, or that otherwise need additional attention may not be uploaded for searching here.
The herbarium at BYU is recognized by the Index Herbariorum acronym 'BRY'. 'V' indicates the vascular plant portion of BRY. The vascular plant herbarium also houses a smaller collection gifted to Brigham Young University from the Ogden Forest Service, which maintains its Index Herbariorum acronym 'OGDF'. BRY additionally encompasses the Herbarium of Non-Vascular Cryptogams (including lichenized fungi), which is administered independently with its own database, catalog numbers, and portal. The non-vascular cryptograms & lichens are curated by Steven Leavitt.
Information made available here electronically, including specimen data and images, has been produced by support from Brigham Young University, NSF grant DBI–1203616, the Grand Canyon Trust, and a Utah-BLM Challenge Cost-Share agreement.
