Herbarium Has 100,000 Species
by Gordon Rice
Emerald Assistant News Editor
| The largest collection of plant
specimens in Oregon is within 150
; yards of the Student Union, and
. only a handful of people know
i that it exists.
■ The University of Oregon her
barium contains some 100,000
| mounted and unmounted plant
specimens in its cabinets. Al
though not as large as the herb
aria at Stanford, the University
of California, or the University of
Washington, it contains several
thousand more specimens than
those at either Oregon State col
. lege or Willamette university,
i Five double rows of cabinets
• containing mounted specimens
■ nearly fill the southern end of the
‘ architecture annex, where the
herbarium is located. Another
’ cabinet of uncounted specimens
’ is placed along one wall.
The plant specimens, all dried
. and mounted in looseleaf fashion
. in large folders, are placed inside
the cabinets. Each looseleaf sheet
contains a plate with the name of
the specimen, where it was found
and by whom, and the date of col
lection.
Most of the specimens for the
collection are received through
exchanges with other herbaria
throughout the country. When the
curator of one of the herbaria
goes out on a collecting trip, he
gathers more samples than his in
stitution can use, and exchanges
them. Others have been added on
bequests from private collections.
The man in cnarge of this col
lection is LeRoy Detling, curator
of the herbarium, who has been
at Oregon since 1936. He did his
undergraduate work here, receiv
ing his bachelor’s degree in lan
guages in 1921. He then shifted
his interest to botany and did his
undergraduate and graduate work
at Stanford, receiving his doctor
ate there in 1936.
Detling goes on at least one col
lecting trip every summer. He
spent part of last summed in the
Olympic Mountains of Washing
ton. «
In previous years he has visited
the Siskiyou mountains, the Col
iimbia Gorge area, and several
ureas in eastern Oregon. Several
i'ears ago he made an extensive
field trip into the Rocky moun
tains.
The University herbarium got
ts start early in the 1910's when
the private collection of Thomas
Howell, an amateur Portland bot
anist, was bequeathed to the Uni
versity. The collection was housed
first in Deady hall, and then mov
?d to Friendly hall in 1928. About
1932 it was moved again, this time
:o Condon hall, where it remained
intil 1952 when it was shifted to
ts present location in the archi
tecture annex.
Much of the Howell collection,
■vhich is still available at the herb
xrium, was original material
vhich had never been discovered
)r classified before.
