Stepping inside the herbarium of Andhra University’s (AU) Department of Botany is like embarking on a journey that unravels the mysteries of the plant world. Here, plant species, most of which are decades old, are revered, conserved and considered as a gateway to understanding the crucial elements of geography and climate change.
This herbarium, the only one in Andhra Pradesh, received international recognition in 2017 after it found a mention in the world list of herbarium by the Royal Botanic Gardens KEW in UK.
