Whitelegge **Notes**: NSW fungi have been transferred to the New South Wales Plant Pathology Herbarium (DAR); The Plant Disease Diagnostic Unit contains microfungal and plant pathology collections. In June 2018, the NSW Government  announced a $60 million investment for a new facility in Western Sydney at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan. This project has seen a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility created to protect our nationally and internationally significant collection, recently valued at $300 million. The herbarium collection was moved here in 2022.   A mass digitization project was undertaken between 2019 and 2021 and has produced more than one million high resolution images of the botanical collections, most of which are publically available. **Date modified in Index Herbariorum**: 2022-08-01 > [!cite] This page is automatically generated • Data on this page were obtained from [Index Herbariorum](https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/) on 2023-08-23. • Meaning of acronyms in TL-2 is not always the same as in IH.
