Botanists, a section of the broad universe of researchers in Biology, are intensive users of herbaria. Presumably, all botanists use herbaria, with greater or lesser frequency and intensity, in the development of their research. In this article, we will try to prove this statement. For this purpose, an institutional history of Botany and herbaria in Argentina is presented. This study will also show that there are other fields of knowledge in which the herbarium has a role as an input, or data source, for research (e.g. agronomy, ethnobotany, medicine). On the other hand, it will be demonstrated that, in addition to the uses of the herbarium in basic science, this institution has a crucial role in the knowledge and preservation of biodiversity, and in the improvement of species for commercial use.
植物学家是生物学领域众多研究人员中的一部分，他们大量使用植物标本馆。据推测，所有植物学家在开展研究时都会或频繁或不那么频繁、或多或少地使用植物标本馆。在本文中，我们将尝试证明这一观点。为此，本文介绍了阿根廷植物学和植物标本馆的机构历史。这项研究还将表明，在其他知识领域，植物标本馆作为研究的一种输入或数据源也发挥着作用（例如农学、民族植物学、医学）。另一方面，将证明的是，除了植物标本馆在基础科学中的用途外，该机构在生物多样性的认知和保护以及商业用途物种的改良方面也发挥着关键作用。
