Gymnosperms represent an ancient lineage of terrestrial flora, having emerged hundreds of millions of years ago. Many species are threatened with extinction due to deforestation, climate change, and overexploitation. Specimens stored in herbaria record historical and current occurrences, aiding in the development of management plans, red lists, and in situ and ex situ conservation strategies.
