Description |
The herbarium of Francesc Xavier Bolòs i Germà (1773-1844) was loaned indefinitely to the Botanical Garden in 1934 by Antoni de Bolòs. Francesc Xavier worked for the Madrid Botanical Garden and was in contact with botanists such as Gómez Ortega, Lagasca, Pourret and Bernades. This pharmacist and naturalist studied the flora of northern Catalonia, above all around Olot, at the end of the 18th century. His herbarium (around 6,000 sheets) contains pre-Linnean and Linnean descriptions on the same labels and is still to be properly studied. |
