The William and Lynda Steere Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden is the foundation of the Garden's botanical research program. All plant and fungal groups (i.e., algae, conifers, ferns, flowering plants, fungi, lichens, liverworts and mosses) are represented by specimens collected in all parts of the world. The herbarium houses more than 7 million specimens. It is the fourth largest in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The collections are being augmented constantly by collections made by the Garden's staff, by gifts, as well as purchases and exchanges of specimens from other herbaria.
