Brigham Young University, S. L. Welsh Herbarium (BRY-V)

Vascular Plants. Curator: Leigh Johnson; Collections Manager: Robert Johnson. The herbarium has completed databasing the non-seed vascular plants, gymnosperms, and most monocots (still working on the grasses). Dicots are an ongoing effort; they are only complete for select groups and recently cataloged material. Some records that are incomplete, duplicate sheets, or that otherwise need additional attention may not be uploaded for searching here.

The herbarium at BYU is recognized by the Index Herbariorum acronym 'BRY'. 'V' indicates the vascular plant portion of BRY housed in the S.L. Welsh Herbarium. The S.L. Welsh herbarium also houses a smaller collection gifted to Brigham Young University from the Ogden Forest Service, which maintains its Index Herbariorum acronym 'OGDF'. BRY also encompasses the Herbarium of Non-Vascular Cryptogams (including lichenized fungi), which is administered independently with its own database, catalog numbers, and portal. The non-vascular cryptograms & lichens are curated by Steven Leavitt with emeritus curator Larry L. St.Clair.
