Saint Edward's University Herbarium (SEU)
The Saint Edward’s University Herbarium collection, which was established in the late 1950s, is a fruit of the work of Brother Daniel Lynch, CSC, and his dedicated students. Br. Daniel (1921–1997) was beloved throughout Central Texas, and many university benefactors contributed to funds that supported his scholarship and his service to marginalized communities. He used some of those funds to buy herbarium cabinets and supplies as he built the collection. He relied heavily on the herbarium as he worked with the illustrator, Nancy McGowan, to complete Native and Naturalized Woody Plants of Austin and the Hill Country. This reference was originally published in 1981 and is still widely used by botanists around the state. In addition to his high level of scholarship, Br. Daniel was a stellar teacher at St. Edward’s for more than 40 years. His students not only learned from the herbarium collection, but they also helped him to build it. Today, the collection is used primarily to support teaching in the natural sciences, but also serves as a repository for voucher specimens documenting the plant diversity of the associated Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve and Creative Research Center.

Chuo Kikuu cha Saint Edward Herbarium (SEU) ni mkusanyiko wa Herbarium ya Chuo Kikuu cha Saint Edward, ambayo ilianzishwa mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1950, ni matunda ya kazi ya Ndugu Daniel Lynch, CSC, na wanafunzi wake wa kujitolea. Ndugu. Daniel (1921-1997) alikuwa mpendwa katika Texas ya Kati, na wafadhili wengi wa chuo kikuu walichangia fedha ambazo ziliunga mkono udhamini wake na huduma yake kwa jamii zilizotengwa. Alitumia baadhi ya fedha hizo kununua makabati ya kuhifadhi mimea na vifaa alipokuwa akijenga mkusanyiko huo. Alitegemea sana herbarium wakati alifanya kazi na mchoraji, Nancy McGowan, kukamilisha Mazao ya Woody ya asili na ya asili ya Austin na Nchi ya Mlima. Maandishi hayo yalichapishwa mwaka 1981 na bado yanatumiwa sana na wataalamu wa mimea nchini Marekani. Mbali na kiwango chake cha juu cha elimu, Br. Daniel alikuwa mwalimu bora katika St. Edward's kwa zaidi ya miaka 40. Wanafunzi wake hawakujifunza tu kutokana na mkusanyiko wa mimea, bali pia walimsaidia kuijenga. Leo, mkusanyiko huo hutumiwa hasa kusaidia kufundisha katika sayansi ya asili, lakini pia hutumika kama hazina ya sampuli za voucher zinazoandika utofauti wa mimea ya Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve na Kituo cha Utafiti wa Ubunifu. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika taarifa ya ""Mwanzoni mwa mwaka"" ya Shirika la Kimataifa la Kimataifa la Kimataifa (IOM), ""Mwaka"" wa Kimataifa wa Kimataifa wa Kimataifa (IOM) ni mwaka wa kwanza wa kuhifadhi data ya kimataifa ya kimataifa (IOM) na ""Mwaka"" wa Kimataifa wa Kimataifa (IOM) na ""Mwaka"" wa Kimataifa wa Kimataifa (IOM)."
