Herbarium Eger (EGR)

He founded the herbarium with his fern, lichen, bryophyte and vascular plant collections. A year later János Suba joined the department, who obtained for the Herbarium the Márton Vrabélyi vascular collection, previously preserved at Dobó István Jesuitical Secondary School. This valuable collection includes 19th century source material of the flora of Bükk and Mátra mountains from Vrabélyi’s own collections as well as exchange material from prominent botanists (Haynald, Holuby, Janka, Kerner, Vágner etc.) of the time.

Herbarium operates within the international network of herbaria. We exchange material with more than 60 herbaria worldwide. Numerous exssicata series are preserved a list of which is appended below. Our type material of over 500 specimens is recognised and cited worldwide.
