Butler University, Friesner Herbarium

GBIF publisher since
25 January 2016

Description

The Friesner Herbarium grew out of the personal collections of Dr. Ray C. Friesner, Professor and Chair of the Botany Department, 1920-1952. The Herbarium focuses on plants of Indiana, currently accessioning specimens that document new significant records or voucher field inventories. Most of our legacy specimens were collected during the 1920s, '30s and '40s when Butler had an active Botany Master’s Degree program focused on floristics and "phytosociology." There was also an active exchange program operating in those years that build our holdings of plants collected outside the state. We curate ca. 100,000 specimens, about half collected in Indiana. Important collectors include Ray Friesner, Charles Deam, John Potzger, Charles Ek, Helene Starcs, Paul Rothrock, Scott McCoy
