Sorry but this isn't an index of Botanic gardens but an index of Herbariorum

The majority of these locations are also arboretums or have experimental
gardens, but if someone were more comfortable finding the same locations
with the words "botanical garden" attached, use this search page instead:
http://www.bgci.org.uk/botanic_gardens/find_garden.html
which search page can, of course, also be used to search for herbaria.
