Welcome to the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium's home page. The University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium (ID) is a collection of preserved plant specimens including over 133,000 accessioned vascular plants, 10,000 bryophytes and lichens, and 20,000 fungi. The ID Herbarium began over one hundred years ago in 1889 with the establishment of the University of Idaho, and has been the official state repository for plant specimens since. The
mission of the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium, consistent with the
conditions of the Charles R. Stillinger trust, is to maintain and expand the
collection to make it the best and most thorough representation of Idaho flora
in the world. Furthermore, the Stillinger Herbarium seeks to foster research
that improves knowledge of Idaho’s flora.
The collection is intended to be used for teaching, research and public
service, and voucher specimens from any project funded by the Stillinger Trust
must be deposited in the University of Idaho Stillinger Herbarium. We provide plant identifications for individuals on a case-by-case basis, and offer opportunities in plant education, such as tours of the herbarium and presentations to small groups or classrooms. We also have volunteer opportunities if you are interested in learning about plants of the Inland Northwest, plant collecting, and collection maintenance and curation. For more information, please explore the site and/or contact us.
