Overview

The foundations for Montana State University Billings Herbarium () were laid in 1927 when the first science faculty of Eastern Montana Normal School, R. A. Shunk, and his students provided the initial plant specimens. In 1976, Dr. Tasneem Khaleel began consolidating several herbaria (including Eastern Montana Normal, Eastern Montana College, Rocky Mountain College, and the USDA Forest Service) into the current 麻花影视 Herbarium. 麻花影视 Herbarium holdings are primarily from Montana, with a number collected in the early 1900鈥檚. In the spring of 2019, the first strategic plan for the 麻花影视 Herbarium was developed. During 2022, the 麻花影视 Herbarium moved into the new Yellowstone Science and Health building (room 030). Current projects include accessioning backlog and fully digitizing (label data and images) the collection.
