    Entered Sep 2009. Specimens are stored in acid free herbarium paper and are kept in metal storage cabinets, while corresponding samples of selected taxa are conserved in 96% ethanol / glycerol (50:50) and/or silicagel dried. The herbarium is equipped with cabinet drier. The herbarium data is completely digitalized (database in FileMaker Pro 9), all herbarium sheets are photographed while (for the moment) web browsing is available for about half of the specimens. Internet access to all the data will be possible by the end of 2009.
