<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The William and Lynda Steere Herbarium is the foundation of NYBG’s scientific research programs. Holding 7.8 million specimens, the Herbarium is the third largest collection of its
kind in the world. The collection is global in scope, with particular strengths in the Americas and Caribbean. It represents every major plant, algal, and fungal group, and has been well-curated throughout our 130-year history. The Herbarium serves as a leader
in the global natural history collections community—providing data, sharing essential stewardship protocols with other institutions, and continually developing and streamlining digitization techniques. The Herbarium is staffed with 17+ members devoted to managing
and maintaining the physical and digital collections. This is an extremely active herbarium, every year adding 40,000 specimens, providing 28,000 specimens on loan to researchers physically and digitally, and hosting 2,000 days of visiting scientists. Specimen
digitization began in 1995. To date, 4.2 million specimens have been digitized, ±500,000 within the last two years. All digital collections and resources are freely available through the C.V. Starr Virtual Herbarium. The Herbarium is also competitive in grant
funding, receiving 17 grants from NSF over the last ten years, in addition to grants from private funders such as Google and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

NYBG’s Science Division. Curators mentor Ph.D. and M.S. students from various institutions as well as undergraduate students and high school interns. Staff and affiliated scholars comprise a robust community of scientists who drive a diverse array of research
programs. Active research topics include floristics, taxonomy, molecular systematics, genomics, bioinformatics, conservation, ethnobotany, and the effects of climate change. Our field research is based in many parts of the globe, e.g., the Neotropics, Southeast
