Abstract

Herbarium samples of collected plants represent a fundamental basis for any detailed ecological investigation. For certain botanical studies it is obligatory to certify the described plants by herbarium samples. This is furthermore of great value where the survey and collection was done in poorly documented ecosystems. A collection of herbarium samples is also very useful in teaching about these plants. Due to their fleshy nature, however, some parasitic plants are rather difficult to preserve.
