The Angelo State University Herbarium is a component of the Angelo State Natural History Collection (ASNHC) and is composed of approximately 40,000 preserved plant specimens which are pressed, dried, and mounted on archival paper. It is the eighth largest herbarium in Texas and represents the most complete floristic inventory of the Concho Valley of Texas. In addition to this special emphasis, the Herbarium serves as a depository for voucher specimens for floristic surveys of several unique areas in Texas including Big Bend National Park, Big Brushy Canyon and Independence Creek. Specimens resulting from several ecological and systematic studies of rare plants are also housed in our collection. Our official abbreviation is SAT.

The collection is available for study by appointment. We will be glad to help with the identification of plant specimens, particularly those representing the native flora of Texas. However, we cannot always guarantee a prompt response to a request.
Requests for loans from recognized botanical institutions will be honored. Loans are made for a period of one year with extensions possible by written request.
As a participating member of the Flora of Texas Consortium (http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/ftc/ftccomm2.htm), we are currently entering specimen label data into a database for Internet access. Preliminary results can be viewed at http://cs.angelo.edu/FLORA/html/main1.html and soon at http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/tracy/main1.html
Software and hardware questions concerning the ASU aspects of the project can be directed to Mark Motl.
