Description
Micheli-Targioni Tozzetti herbarium (17th-18th century). The herbarium of Pier Antonio Micheli is of particular scientific importance as it is of pre-Linnaean origin and contains numerous original materials cited by Linnaeus himself. Only after the Targioni-Tozzetti's (Giovanni's and Ottaviano's) specimens were added, the herbarium was reorganised according to Linnaeus' classification and arranged in the 260 elegant cardboard containers that still exist today. Contents: 18366 vascular plant specimens, of which 17848 angiosperms, 88 gymnosperms and 430 pteridophytes. A complete census and complete transcription of the labels of the specimens in the Micheli-Targioni herbarium was carried out in the early 2000s and the data collected was put together in a word file, with a series of complex notations that made it difficult, even at the date of the first drafting of the SMA dashboard (2021), to transfer it to DB format, but which nevertheless allowed a rapid computer search of the specimens. In 2022, the data were transferred in indexed form to excel for migration to a new CMS.
