This collection has has 4,917 herbarium specimens. The main part of the collection (4025 sheets) was digitalized in 1989-1992 under the auspices of the National Historical Heritage Plan directed by Àngel Romo. In 2001-2006 the collection was studied by Neus Ibáñez as part of her doctoral thesis. The remaining sheets (825) form an annex to the main collection and consist of American plants collected by Petiver and of European plants collected by Francesc Xavier Bolòs (donation in 19th century). This annex was studied and digitalized in 2013 by Neus Ibáñez and Pep Aurell. In 2014, 67 new specimens have been incorporated in the collection and are under study. |
