Northern Territory Herbarium (Darwin)

The Northern Territory Herbarium (Darwin & Alice Springs) provides conservation and plant taxonomic advice to the community. The collection records the floristic diversity of native and introduced plants in the Northern Territory with over 4,300 species of native plants, 702 endemic and over 400 introduced. While the Northern Territory flora is primarily Australian in origin and occurrence, it naturally includes many species also found in nearby New Guinea, Timor-Leste and eastern Indonesia. The Northern Territory Herbarium maintains over 270,000 vascular plant specimens primarily from across northern and central Australia, but also Timor and Wetar.

The Northern Territory Herbarium in Alice Springs (NT) was founded in 1954, with a separate collection in Darwin (DNA) in late 1966. In 1989 the bulk of the collections in Alice Springs were shifted to Palmerston and combined with the Darwin collection. The collection in Alice Springs, still referred to as NT, remains as a reference and research collection for the arid zone of the Northern Territory.

北领地植物标本馆（达尔文与爱丽丝泉分馆）为社区提供植物保护及分类学咨询服务。该馆藏品记录了北领地本土及引入植物的区系多样性（floristic diversity），包含本土植物4300余种、特有种（endemic species）702种及引入种400余种。尽管北领地植物区系在起源与分布上以澳大利亚本土为主，但自然也包含许多同时见于邻近的新几内亚、东帝汶及印度尼西亚东部的物种。北领地植物标本馆保存了超过27万份维管植物（vascular plant）标本，这些标本主要来自澳大利亚北部及中部地区，也涵盖帝汶岛与韦塔岛。

爱丽丝泉的北领地植物标本馆（NT）成立于1954年，达尔文分馆（DNA）则于1966年末独立建馆。1989年，爱丽丝泉分馆的大部分藏品被转移至帕默斯顿，并与达尔文分馆的藏品合并。爱丽丝泉分馆的藏品（仍以NT指代）至今仍是北领地干旱区的参考与研究藏品库。
