Seney National Wildlife Refuge (SENEY)

This herbarium represents an integral part of the history of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. The first specimens in the collection date back to 1940. Since then, hundreds of plants have been collected, pressed, mounted, identified, and labeled by over 20 people with an interest in the vegetation of the Refuge. In 1964, Professor Edward G. Voss, a nationally recognized systematic botanist from the University of Michigan, examined the existing plant collection and made many corrections. New specimens (from 2010 onward) were verified by Dr. Anthony Reznicek (University of Michigan Herbarium).
