James Cook University Herbarium

James Cook University Herbarium Townsville (JCT) serves as a botanical resource for students, staff, community members and professional botanists. Our collections offer excellent opportunities to learn more about the rich diversity of our local native flora, and exotic and invasive weeds. The Herbarium also participates in loan and exchange programs with other herbaria throughout the country.

Herbarium staff can assist honours and graduate students with plant identifications and can provide other botanical information upon request. Some duplicate specimens from the James Cook University collection (JCT) have been incorporated into the Australian Tropical Herbarium (CNS).
