Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A herbarium is a store of dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens mounted on sheets and arranged according to a system of classification. Each sheet records the date and place of collection, the English, local and botanical names, the family, the collector's name and the plant's habitat.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.

A herbarium is a reference for identification and a permanent record of the flora of a region.
