Herbarium caters for the plant workers who need to identify plant species.  The subject, generally under the topic “Botanical Classification” or “Biodiversity”, is commonly mentioned in upper secondary school texts and university courses. For those primary school students who are interested in knowing more about Hong Kong plant life, we would suggest the Lions Nature Education Centre in Sai Kung (Enquiry telephone no.: 2792 2234).
