The Pullen Herbarium (MISS) collection consists of over 75,000 vascular plant specimens, as well as non vascular plants, slime molds and fungi. With funding from the National Science Foundation , the collection is now housed in new cabinets on a compactor system and the specimen data has been entered into a searchable database. All accessioned specimens have been imaged and are currently being linked to our heritage database.
