Description
Herbarium of Palms by Odoardo Beccari (1878 - 1920). The Herbarium Palmarum was Odoardo Beccari's research tool for the study of the Arecaceae family. In more than 20 years of intensive research dedicated to this family, Beccari produced more than 70 publications that established him as the world's leading palm expert. The collection does not only contain his own collections, but is above all the fruit of more than 30 years of research and exchanges with palmologists from all over the world and still retains its importance and scientific relevance today. The herbarium, the only historical (closed) herbarium to be preserved on the first floor of the building, is kept in room 5 cupboards, just before the Arecaceae specimens, of the general herbarium. The collection consists of approximately 11,000 sheets, comprising just under 7,000 specimens, with 1,205 drawings, approx. 500 type specimens and thousands of photos and prints in various formats; connected to some of the specimens are the more than 245 carpological preparations (interspersed in the general carpotheque).
