How is a herbarium put together?

After the collecting and placement of the plants in the herbarium, they are dried, after which comes the time for modeling. Finalizing the herbarium then consists of fixing the dried plants with wet strips and sponges. The Hibiscus moscheutos is the result. This specimen is part of the Henry David Thoreau Herbarium (1817 - 1862), Gray Herbarium of Harvard University.
