Description:
- The Cryptogamic Herbarium is a part of the Biological Sciences Department of the University of Alberta. Cryptogamic plants are the mosses, fungi, liverworts, and lichens that we see around us everyday, but often fail to notice. About 200,000 different specimens of this fascinating plant life are on display here. Research into this group of plants, which are particularly sensitive to environmental changes, has taken on a new importance in an age of rapid ecological damage. Apart from viewing the plants, specimens are available for loan to researchers. Admission is free.
