For those interested, you can search through the collections of herbariums all over north America through portals such as the Consortium of Midwest Herbaria[0], in Europe through digHerb [1], and throughout the rest of the world through many other symbiota portals [2].<p>You can find your nearest brick and mortar herbarium globally through Index Herbariorum[3]. Though these resources are incomplete, they are pretty extensive regardless.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;midwestherbaria.org&#x2F;portal&#x2F;collections&#x2F;search&#x2F;index.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;midwestherbaria.org&#x2F;portal&#x2F;collections&#x2F;search&#x2F;index....</a><p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;digiherb.symbiota.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;digiherb.symbiota.org&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;symbiota.org&#x2F;symbiota-portals&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;symbiota.org&#x2F;symbiota-portals&#x2F;</a><p>[3]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sweetgum.nybg.org&#x2F;science&#x2F;ih&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sweetgum.nybg.org&#x2F;science&#x2F;ih&#x2F;</a>

Not a very user friendly website IMHO. Surprised it doesn&#x27;t list the Irish language names of many of these plants (as far as I could see).
