The William and Lynda Steere Herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden holds a collection of more than seven million preserved specimens. All plant groups – flowering plants, conifers, ferns, mosses, liverworts, and algae, as well as fungi and lichens - are represented in the Herbarium collection, which is particularly strong in specimens from the Western Hemisphere. Digitization of all groups is underway, with more than 4.2 million specimens barcoded and 3.6 million imaged.
