E.L. Reed Herbarium at Texas Tech University (TTC-Bryophytes)

The E.L. Reed Herbarium was founded in 1925 as part of the Texas Technological College (TTC). Located on the roof of the Biology building, the herbarium was founded by Reed and R.A. Schudhalter, who provided key collections from the South Plains and Panhandle region of Texas. The Bryophyte herbarium was re-started by M.G. Johnson in 2020 from duplicates gifted by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas and T.S. Quedensley.
