Oregon State University Vascular Plant Collection (OSU-V)
The Oregon State University Herbarium (OSC) houses approximately 550,000 vascular plant, bryophyte, algal, and fungal specimens. The collections are worldwide in scope, with a focus on the state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada. Our vascular plant collection also includes the ORE and WILLU herbaria, and specimens should be cited based on the original herbarium. Square brackets indicate interpreted information not on the original label.

Updated June 2022 (mailing address updated). We are in the process of moving back to our renovated, on campus herbarium facility. We can now receive shipments, but will not be ready to mail specimens until specimen unpacking is completed later this summer. WILLU is not interfiled. ORE is interfiled with OSC. Specimens from ORE, OSC, and WILLU are sent on all loan requests and should be cited based on the original herbarium.
