Notes
The WRSL herbarium is currently divided into three parts: the Herbarium Generale, the Herbarium Lauterbachi and the Herbarium Silesiacum. The Herbarium Generale holds the plant and fungi material from around the world, excluding Lower Silesia, Poland (about 375,000 specimens, including about 75,000 spore-bearing organisms). The Herbarium 1Lauterbachi keeps plants from New Guinea and Melanesia (about 50,000 sheets), and the Herbarium Silesiacum – plants from Lower Silesia, Poland (about 90,000 specimens). According to the website, many early collections were damaged by WWII. WRSL same as BRSL. Use WRSL.
