WALLS OF THE ROTUNDA 
On the walls of the Rotunda will be found a framed set of 
herbaceous plants, each frame containing a family. They are 
arranged in their natural order, beginning on the west face of the 
northwest corner and passing southward. This collection serves 
to illustrate the grouping of plants according to their botanical 
characters. 
On the floor of the north transept are three cases, two of 
lichens and one of mosses, each containing sufficient species to 
fairly represent the genera of these classes of plants. 
On the floor of the south transept is a case of replicas of 
tropical fruits, accompanied in many instances by products gained 
from the different species. 
THE HERBARIUM 
The herbarium of this department — particularly rich in the 
plants of Mexico, Central America and Hungary — is located in the 
laboratory and study suite of the Botanist, north balcony. This 
collection is at all times open for use4Dy specialists and students 
of systematic phytology.
