Herbarium

A Collection of Preserved Plant Specimens

The Herbarium at The Grey Book Museum and Archives is a meticulously curated collection of preserved plant specimens, representing the vast flora of Cochin and its surrounding regions. These specimens, which include leaves, flowers, stems, and roots, have been carefully dried and pressed, allowing for long-term preservation. Each specimen is accompanied by detailed information, such as the plant’s scientific name, its common name, the location where it was collected, and the date of collection.
