Donations -
NMC runs on a fairly tight sometimes volatile budget. Generally we
have enough funding for the basic materials necessary to keep to keep
the herbarium functioning. However, donations to herbarium are greatly
appreciated and these will help to ensure the herbarium continues to
function well into the future. We are happy to use donations as necessary
to fund student help or we can use the funds in specific accordance
with the wishes of the person making the donation. Ultimately, donations
specifically noted for the NMC endowment will provide NMC with stable
funding in the future. If you have any questions about making a donation,
please contact either Donovan Bailey or Richard
Spellenberg.

Direction
of growth - The goal for NMC is to continue to provide a
quality regional and national resource. Given that the herbarium
has limited funding we have elected to focus the growth of the general
collection on accessions from New Mexico, surrounding states, the
Chihuahua Desert, and the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico. In addition,
we welcome any collections associated with specific NMSU faculty
and graduate research projects. At present we would appreciate any
collections of Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, or Nyctaginaceae.
