Abstract

All specimens were documented: all data from the labels were entered into MS Excel spreadsheet, and in the case of type material digital photographs are also taken. The oldest Malagasy specimens hosted in the herbarium are the isotypes of Brachymenium borgenianum Hampe and Bryum subargenteum Hampe, both specimens collected by M. Borgen in 1870.
