Its holding of 35,000 specimens, mostly collected in Singapore and Malaysia, comprises of the following groups: flowering plants, ferns, mosses, liverworts, fungi, and algae. The collection is now entrusted to the Herbarium at the Singapore Botanic Gardens (SBG). For the loan of specimens, please send your request to The Herbarium Manager at SBG.
