Etymology
The term 'herbarium' originated from the Latin word 'herbarium', meaning a collection of plants. The concept of herbaria dates back to ancient times, with early civilizations collecting and preserving plants for medicinal and scientific purposes. The modern herbarium as we know it today began to take shape in the 16th century, with the development of botanical gardens and the need for systematic plant classification. Herbaria play a crucial role in documenting plant biodiversity and are essential resources for botanical research.
