The gathering of plants

The size of the dryer sheets of paper must meet the herbarium sheets of the future. In the Soviet Union in all major herbaria received size 42 X 28 cm, it is better to stick to it, but, of course, we can take a different amount. Consistent with the chosen size and cut paper, and drying leaves take the double and fold them in half (as a double sheet of typing paper). Extracted plant immediately placed in the botanical folder. This folder is made of thick cardboard or plywood the size of the firebox 48X32 cm each sheet of cardboard to make the four slots through which weed out two broad ribbon for tying the folder. The upper edge of the stick, in addition, straps or ribbons to be worn over the shoulder folder. In the folder, put the dryer sheets of paper for laying them in the collected plants. Lists of plants to lay more convenient than the double and triple: the side fraction of a sheet bend and overlap each other's parameters, covering their average share of the plant. Put in a plant leaf fall from Pego can no longer (if it happens twice a sheet). Laying flat for the plant in leaf, you need to invest to the same label (the label) with all records pertaining to this plant. Herbaceous plants zasushivayut together with roots. For digging up roots are shovel, sturdy knife, slick. In hot weather, the paper before laying it in the botanical folder to slightly moisten the plants are not wilted. Coming home, removed the leaves from the plants from the folder, select well-preserved and shifted them to the fresh leaves. Then lay the sheets for drying.
