Description
Collection of Italian galls . Since the end of the 19th century, there have been collections of galls or cecidi, i.e. protuberances produced on plants by mite and insect bites or by the attack of fungi and bacteria. The FI gall collection is divided into two parts: a general one, open to the admission of new specimens, currently consisting of material mostly from Tuscany and to be referred to the general herbarium; the other (this) one is the Cecidiotheca Italica, which has 575 specimens preserved in stapled herbarium envelopes.
