Welcome to Department of Botany collections search page
Botany is the scientific study of
plants and fungi. Scientists in the Department of Botany at The Field
Museum are interested in learning why there are so many different plants
and fungi in the world, how this diversity is distributed across the globe
and how best to classify it, and what important roles these organisms play
in the environment and in human cultures.
If you would like to do a more focused search, you may want to try the choices in the Quick Browse section to the right.
Specimen searches and taxonomy searches are available on the links below.
Please take a few moments to fill in our
user questionnaire.
