Summary The Herbarium of the Geological Survey of Alabama (Mohr Herbarium) was founded in 1878 with the contacting of Charles Mohr by the Alabama State Geologist. The Herbarium remained active until the death of Mohr in 1901 and was directly utilized in two publications, most notably Plant Life of Alabama. An investigation of its contents reveals that the Herbarium contains 47 types, including four holotypes, six isotypes, two syntypes, and one paratype. A list of these type specimens is provided.
