  • Notes

    Updated March 2022 (notes). No loans from Linnaean or Swartz herbaria. Worldwide collection of pollen slides. SPL formerly used for the Palynological Laboratory; SPA formerly used for the Section for Palaeobotany; use S for both. Postal address (letters): P. O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden. Visiting address: Frescativägen 40, 114 18 Stockholm. During the coming years, the botanical collections at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (S) will be temporarily inaccessible for loans and visits. The building where the collections are housed will be renovated, and during a period of several years the collections will be stored elsewhere or in transport between storage and the museum. The renovation is scheduled to be finished Summer 2023, and then a period of at least two years follow when the collections are moved back to the herbarium until full service can be provided again.
