West Virginia Natural Heritage Program Herbarium - Bryophytes (WVHP)
The West Virginia Natural Heritage Program Herbarium was founded in 1988 as a reference collection to supplement the work of WV Natural Heritage researchers. Through donations and exchanges, the collections span from the 1890s to present day and consist mainly of vascular plants but includes lichens and bryophytes, all primarily from West Virginia.
