Detailed explanation-1: -Principle: Taxonomists preserve plant specimen in dry state by mounting it on a thick sheet of paper 42 x 29cm size. Such a mounted sheet is called herbarium sheet. The place (Laboratory/Institute) where herbarium sheets are systematically stored is called herbarium.
Detailed explanation-2: -7. Mounting: The RHS Herbarium uses acid-free paper, measuring 419 x 266mm (16.5 x 11in).
Detailed explanation-3: -In order to fit on a standard herbarium sheet, a plant specimen should be pressed flat to no more than 11 X 16 inches. If the specimen will not fit those dimensions, it may be folded or cut into sections. Multiples of smaller plants may be pressed together in order to provide ample material for mounting and study.
