The roles of the Queensland Herbarium (BRI) and its collections are outlined together with a brief historical account of its founding and subsequent development to the present day. Established in 1855, the Queensland Herbarium now comprises in excess of 700,000 fully databased botanical specimens. The Queensland Herbarium was one of the first herbaria worldwide to database its collections starting in the 1970's. The Queensland Herbarium (BRI) is the centre for botanical research and information on Queensland flora and vegetation communities, and for plant biodiversity research in Queensland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It is an integral part of the international network of herbaria, which facilitates research on the Queensland flora by national and international researchers. The Herbarium is the principal focus for documenting and monitoring Queensland's rare and threatened plants and plant communities, vegetation and regional ecosystem surveys, mapping and monitoring, plant names, plant distribution and identification, taxonomic and ecological research on plants and plant communities within the state.
