 EMU Biology Herbarium The herbarium contains approximately 20,000 vascular plant specimens, plus mosses, fungi, and algae. Most specimens are from Michigan and Ontario, Canada, with some from Europe, Asia and Australia. The herbarium also houses a large collection of samples collected in many parts of North America by Dr. Prescott in the mid-1900's. The herbarium supports student and faculty research, teaching, and has recently incorporated GIS capabilities in its computer system. In summer 2003, the herbarium was contracted to survey, using student assistants, vegetation types in the Pittsfield Preserve for Pittsfield Township, Washtenaw Co, Michigan and to produce GIS data files for the Townshp's use.
