How to Preserve Hepatics, Mosses and Lichens

The specimens to be preserved should be laid between absorbent paper, under a moderate pressure until dry, then they may be placed in envelops which come for the purpose and these may be glued to regular herbarium sheets or the specimens themselves may be mounted directly upon sheets of paper.

Several specimens of the same species from different localities may be mounted on one sheet; but it is undesirable to put different species on a sheet as this interferes with a proper classification of material.
