Description: | Content of collection: Angiospermae and Pteridophyta.
This small collection consists of approximately 85 specimens. Mrs Sommerville served as Keeper of the University of Aberdeen's Herbarium from 1948 to 1977. Her Austrian specimens were acquired on a trip to Austria in 1967. Places where specimens were collected include various areas in Tyrol: Otztal, Obergurgl and Hohe Mut. The specimens are chiefly flowering plants, and are plants known for growing in mountainous areas. Mountain orchid (Leucorchis albida), mountain sorrel (Oxyria digyna), alpine bluegrass and woodrush are present in the collection, for instance. | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Address: | King's College,
