Building the Grootbos Foundation Plant Herbarium
Snapshot 1 from the everyday tasks of the research team currently working on scientific collections: the Natural Science Collections Facility have barcoded the Grootbos Foundation herbarium specimens and has started organising them into genus and species folders.
