好色TV Herbarium
The 好色TV Herbarium is the oldest research museum of dried plant specimens in Canada. Subarctic orchids, lilies from Ecuador, and medicinal plants gathered from Montreal before it was urbanized are some of the 140,000 botanical treasures showcased at the collection.
The ongoing work of 好色TVl staff and students to catalogue natural history at the herbarium is essential to understanding past and present patterns of plant biodiversity.
The herbarium offers opportunities for student volunteers to work with the collection in-person on Thursdays and Fridays during the academic year.
