A shot of the beautiful old wooden cabinets at the Forest Research Institute herbarium in Yezin. Established in 1925, the herbarium currently contains about 25,000 specimens. Although this may sound like a lot, for a country with forests as extensive and species-rich as Myanmar this is really not very many specimens. There is still a lot of botanical exploration and collecting that needs to be done here.
