A herbarium is a systematically arranged collection of preserved plant specimens that serves as a permanent record for botanical and pharmacogenetic studies. When developed with a focus on medicinal flora, it becomes a Living Library of Medicinal Plants, providing valuable information about plants used in traditional and modern medicine. It acts as a vital resource for researchers, students, and academicians involved in the study of pharmacognosy, taxonomy, botany, and drug discovery.In a Drug Bank of Herbarium, medicinal plants are collected from various geographical regions, properly identified, and preserved through scientific techniques. Each specimen is dried, pressed, and mounted on herbarium sheets, labeled with essential details such as the botanical name, family, vernacular name, parts used, medicinal properties, and place and date of collection. These sheets are systematically arranged and stored in protective covers to prevent damage from humidity, insects, or light.
