Botany Laboratory cum Herbarium

The ERDB Botany Laboratory (EBL) 'cum' Herbarium was established to serve as a depository facility of plant specimens collected during the implementation of R&D projects like vegetation analysis by ERDB researchers. Also the laboratory received duplicates of plants specimens submitted and referred to by researchers from academe and other research institutions which eventually became a property of the laboratory as they bear permanent herbarium number and are recorded in the laboratory’s accession book.
