What Is the Herbarium Press Used For?
Fresh leaves, flowers and small whole plants are laid between sheets of newspaper or blotting paper, stacked between the wooden pressure plates, and squeezed flat by tightening the fly-nuts. Pressing removes moisture while keeping the specimen flat, so it can later be mounted on a herbarium sheet with its label. Changing the damp sheets regularly during the first days helps the specimens dry quickly and keep their colour. The press is standard botany lab equipment for school herbarium projects, college plant taxonomy practicals and field collections.
What to Specify When Ordering

- Size — tell JLab the sheet size you work with so the press size can be confirmed.
- Collecting and storage items — add a vasculum or herbarium cabinets if you are equipping a complete herbarium.
