Lichen collection

Description

While lichens are systematically considered within the fungi group, they are stored in separate collections in herbariums because of their particular characteristics. The lichen collection of the herbarium BCN is one of the most important in the Iberian Peninsula, both because of its size and the geographical area it covers. It contains roughly 22,000 specimens, mostly from the Catalan-speaking territories (Catalan Countries) and from the Mediterranean region in general. More than a hundred samples are type specimens. In 2007, the CeDocBiV accepted in trust the herbarium of Dr. Josep Mª Egea, professor of Botany at the University of Murcia. This collection contains more than 11,000 samples and it is stored separately from the general collection.
