The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

iDigBio Last Ingested Date: 2025-06-23

The University of Florida Bryophyte Collection contains approximately 100,000 bryophyte specimens. The collection is worldwide in scope with an excellent representation of species from Florida and tropical areas such as Costa Rica, Venezuela and Brazil. Important collections include those of Dana G. Griffin, III (Florida, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia), Walter S. Judd, James B. McFarlin, Severin Rapp, and John K. Small. The University of Florida Herbarium is a unit of the Department of Natural History of the Florida Museum of Natural History. The herbarium is affiliated with the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Department of Biology and the Department of Plant Pathology. The FLAS acronym is the standard international abbreviation for the University of Florida Herbarium. It is derived from the herbarium's early association with the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. Our mission focuses on plant collections acquisition and care, research based on the collections, education and public service.
