Herbarium and Museum of Zoology
 The APSU herbarium consists of some 30,000 specimens of vascular
plants, lichens and mosses. Local plants are emphasized, but much of
the southeastern U.S. flora is represented. It is a valuable
resource for work in plant identification and ecology. The
collections are used in most botany courses, and facilities are
available for individual research. Many student collections become
part of this permanent botanical museum.
The
museum of zoology houses an extensive collection of cataloged
amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals from Tennessee and Kentucky.
These specimens (many contributed by students) are used in teaching
and research. Both the herbarium and the museum of zoology provide
employment for student workers. |
