The collection of ca 2000 specimens focuses on native flora of North America, with particular emphasis on the southeastern United States. Important collectors include John I. Connors (former NCMNS staff, retired 2012), Dr. Lisa Kelly, UNC Pembroke (esp. flora of Huggins Island, Onlsow County, NC), and Dr. Patrick D. McMillan (former NCMNS staff ca 1991-2000).
