| Description | This is the main collection of the Botanical Institute. It consists of 300,000 specimens collected by most of the botanists that have studied the flora of the northeast Iberian Peninsula. An important part was collected by Font i Quer and his colleagues during their long campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. The general herbarium also contains plants collected by botanists such as J.M.C. Arvet-Touvet, M. Bernades, A. de Bolòs, O. de Bolòs, R. Bolòs, C. Pau, R. Maire, E. Jahandiez, R. Margalef, R. Masferrer, P. Montserrat, F. Masclans, E. Batalla and J. Vigo. The collection continues to grow, above all as a result of the collections made by the Institute's staff, but also due to exchanges made with and donations from other herbariums from throughout the world. |
