Herbarium Catalogue (S)
Welcome to the botanical collection database of the Swedish Museum of Natural History, with information on specimens and species of fungi, lichens, algae, bryophytes and vascular plants.
During the coming years, the botanical collections at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (S) will be temporarily inaccessible for loans and visits during a period of c. three years. The building where the collection is housed will be renovated and the collections will be stored elsewhere.
Accessibility to our collections will gradually decrease starting as early as april 2018. If you already now see a future need to study S botanical collections, we therefore recommend that you ask for loans as soon as possible.
