Miss Betty Roper’s Herbarium 1853, Rocky Mount, Alabama Lower Montgomery County Betty Roper 1853 Alabama The following is a list of plants as they appear in Miss Betty Roper's Pressed Flower Herbarium notebook - Dated - Spring 1853. She was 14 years old when this was done, and was a part of her Botany school lessons. She would collect, press, and mount each specimen, generally one per page. She would then key out the specimen and write down it’s Order, Genus and Species, and it’s common name out beside the specimen. She would then include a statement as to what human sentiment it represented, or other such item. They would be kept in the parlor and shown to visitors, much like magazines would. This collection is at the State Archives and History at Montgomery. Compiled and submitted by George R. Stritikus.
