Herbarium specimen
Here is a photo of the herbarium specimen that I made while I was in Hooper Bay, AK last summer. This was my first time creating an herbarium specimen so it was a great learning experience. Here are the herbarium specimen I made for this assignment. I just used …
Keyed out Plants
