Follmann lichens (15 000 specimens) collected before 1982, including much Chilean material, housed here. Editor's note: The date given for the establishment of this herbarium is somewhat misleading. The Museum holds the Caspar Ratzenberger Herbarium which includes approximately 700 pressed specimens preserved in leather-bound volumes between 1533-- 1603. The plants were collected during a trip to France and Italy during the time when Ratzenberger was a student at Witenberg.. **Date modified in Index Herbariorum**: 2017-09-12 > [!cite] This page is automatically generated • Data on this page were obtained from [Index Herbariorum](https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/) on 2023-08-23. • Meaning of acronyms in TL-2 is not always the same as in IH.
