Collections
The scientific collections comprise 2.5 million specimens divided into
- Algae & cyanobacteria 102 000
- Fungi 63 000
- Lichens 170 000
- Bryophytes 149 000
- Vascular plants 2 000 000
The herbarium contains plants from all over the world. The collections from the Nordic countries are particularly extensive, but there also are important collections from, for example, the Mediterranean region, South Africa, Western Australia and parts of South America.
Three historical collections are kept separately due to their particular value:
- The Agardh herbarium - one of the world's most important collections of algae.
- The Retzius herbarium - mainly vascular plants from the 18th and early 19th century.
- The Acharius herbarium - mainly vascular plants from the 18th and early 19th century.
