Short Description
The Herbarium SZU is a curated natural history collection hosting ca. 130.000 vouchers of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens. The focus of the collection is Central Europe and the Eurasian mountains. A carpological collection from native plants, a wet collection of orchids (focus Bulbophyllum) and a silica-dried tissue collection (including DNA-bank) of Alpine plants complement the "traditional" herbarium collection. Part of the collection is digitized and accessible via GBIF.

Research Services
The plant collection is freely accessible for research projects (biosystematics, biodiversity research, etc.). Digital data can be obtained via GBIF Austria (https://gbif.at) or GBIF (https://gbif.org). Information about professional plant identification and services including DNA-Barcoding are available upon request.
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
Expertise in plant identification; conservation biology of plants, population biology & ecology of plants, alpine biodiversity research, DNA-barcoding
