The Herbarium, third largest in the state, grew out of the personal collections of Dr. Ray C. Friesner, Professor and Chair of the Botany Department, 1920-1952. Many students and other Butler faculty have contributed plants through the years. The specimens, with their carefully documented labels, comprise a reference library on historical distribution, habitats, and timing of flower and fruit production. The collection's voucher specimens serve to verify plant identification. Although the Herbarium contains plants from around the world, the collection emphasizes plants of Indiana. The collection has samples of 96% of the approximately 2500 taxa of native Indiana plants. Multiple specimens are present for most plants, providing more information than single drawings or photographs from books to assist in learning what a plant looks like. Most of our collections were made during the first half of the century and now constitute documentation of Indiana's historical vegetation. They also provide information on the habitat (e.g., woods, swamp, prairie) where plants were collected and would likely be found again.

Dolan principalInvestigator The Indiana Plant Atlas is a botany resource for plant enthusiasts, professionals, students and teachers. The IPA is a joint effort by the Indiana Herbarium Consortium and Butler University to provide users with a comprehensive searchable database of plants that occur growing outside of cultivation in Indiana. The IPA provides a source of information for each species, including the distribution within the state using historical and recent data. Funded by a Butler Innovation Grant for 3 years for development and maintenance of the site. The Atlas will contain all of the records from our Indiana specimen database (approximately 46,000), including the images from specimen sheets that have been digitally imaged (~ 20,000 so far). We will be working with a team from the Plant Atlas at the University of South Florida to provide the template which has successfully been used for three other states. In addition to posting our records, our hope is to build an Indiana Consortium of botanical collections from around the state. This would include vouchered records from herbaria as well as documented inventories. 2015-03-05T09:57:09.754-05:00 dataset Dolan, R.W. and M.E. Moore (2017) Indiana Plant Atlas.
