Hey guys,
I'm a third year biosci student in New Zealand and one of my assignments is to make a herbarium. It must include a minimum of 15 plant species. There is a theme to follow for the assignment and it can be of my choosing, for example medicinal plants. The first ten plants of the herbarium do not have to meet the theme, only the additional 5-10 plants need to have a theme. However, if you manage to get some of the first ten into the theme then extra marks. I'm really lucky to be doing the assignment in a country with such amazing plant life. The theme i'm currently thinking of doing is titled " symbiosis in the plant kingdom" where i'm wanting to choose plants which form a symbiotic relationship with another organism/plant. The herbarium must include: two species of bryophytes, two species of ferns, two species of gymnosperms, four species of flowering plants and at least five more species collected to illustrate a theme.
I'm including my planned list of plants to collect for my herbarium. Just wanting any feedback on my theme idea, is it a good idea or not compared to other theme ideas such as medicinal plants ect

I think it’s a cool idea but honestly it would be best to discuss it with your teacher, they can help guide you much better according to their rubric than anyone else can and communication with teachers is a great sign you’re engaging with the subject.
