HERBARIUM

The nationally-recognized University of Tennessee Herbarium (TENN) houses over 649,000 accessioned specimens of vascular plants (ferns, cone-bearing, and flowering plants), bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), fungi, lichens, and macroalgae. We are an official repository for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve) and we are the primary repository of the native and naturalized plants and fungi of the state of Tennessee. It is the largest collection from the southern Appalachians and has a strong emphasis on the eastern US, Mexico, and Central America.
