	herbarium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A herbarium is a collection of plants from a region (area, country, continent, etc.), which are dried, pressed, mounted on cardboard sheets, and labeled for scientific study; it is also said of a place or institution where such a collection is kept and gradually added to.
		The oldest herbariums of the world probably date back to the 15th century when such plant collections were initiated by Otto Brunets in Germany, Laura China in Italy, and Johan Falconer and William Turner in England.
		But this herbarium was ill-fated: After some time it had to be transferred, first, to the Faculty of Science, then to the Center for Researches in Desert Plants, then to the High Teacher-training College, and finally, with losses and damage caused during these displacements, to the Faculty of Pharmacy.

		New specimens are being added to the herbarium at the rate of nearly a thousand per year by exchange, gifts, and field work in relation to research projects at the herbarium.
		Because the specimens remain in the herbarium as vouchers, they can be studied by other scientists, now or in the future, who may accept, reject, or modify the ideas and data presented in the publications.
