  • Notes

    Entered Dec 2023. The collection consists of specimens from the Southern Brazilian flora, especially from the Central-Southern region of the State of Paraná, whose flora has been underexplored until now. The herbarium includes more than 3000 collected and properly cataloged specimens, encompassing holotypes, endangered species, and first occurrences in the region, in the state of Paraná, and in the Southern Region of Brazil. The establishment of this herbarium aimed to fill the information gap regarding the flora of this region of Brazil and, more broadly, contribute to the understanding and conservation of regional biodiversity.
