Notes
Updated 13/01/2026 (collection details, summary collections, staff). In Collections summaries, digitized items of Pteridophytes are included in Seed Plants. Myxomycetes (Mycetozoa), including so far digitized specimens (~ 500 in total), are included in Fungi+Lichenes. In addition to the collections listed below, there is an important comparative collection of seeds and fruits (ca 25,000). Total number of types - 15,000 - is a very conservative estimate.
