My experience making the herbarium

Hi, guys!! I hope your weekend has been incredible!

Today to talk about how my experience was making the Herbarium.  

The truth the Herbarium did it the year 2012, long long time ago in that moment the teacher asked us to deliver a herbarium with 15 exotic species 15 native species but it asked certain requirements such as: it could not collect samples from the campus" Antumapu"seams of samples should also be very orderly, species collected in spring were with flowers and if any had fruit, with its respective fruit.

I really didn't know where out species so we gather a group of friends and went to the cerro San Cristobal there we collect the most species but the bad thing was that even we didn't recognize the species.

To be able to recognize them please help our oldest fellow of the University, and some professors of the faculty. We much delay to complete, approximately 3 months, since after collecting the species you have to make a special drying where the species must be wrapped in newspaper and also put in a pressing machine  so that in the future not be you loss, when already they are dry.

I proceeded to recognize the species and then the last step is to boil the species in a carton and glue a sheet indicating the name of the place where it was collected, the species name and the person who collected it.

Actually for me was not a very pleasant experience, since it is much time dedicated to present each species in good condition and hate sew plant by plant, but must rescue the good and that you helped me lot to learn to recognize species both native as exotic  that exist in our country I hope not having bored.
