Plant collection refers to the practice of gathering and preserving various types of plants for study, display, or conservation. This can include flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plant species. Collections can be found in botanical gardens, herbaria, and research institutions, where they serve educational and scientific purposes. Collectors often document the origin, habitat, and characteristics of each plant, contributing to our understanding of biodiversity. Some collections focus on specific regions or types of plants, while others aim to conserve endangered species. This practice plays a crucial role in environmental conservation and scientific research.
