Welcome to the University of Port Harcourt Virtual Herbarium, situated in Rivers State, Nigeria. Our primary objective is to digitize and provide access to all specimens within our university herbarium, following the taxonomy standards set by the curriculum. This initiative aims to create a comprehensive resource for botanical research and education.

Herbariums play a crucial role in plant identification and study. Each specimen, along with its detailed description on a herbarium sheet, serves as a repository of knowledge for future reference and research endeavors. Our digitization efforts aim to make this wealth of information readily accessible to a broader audience.
