Description: | Content of collection: Angiospermae and Pteridophyta.
The Iceland Collection of Higher Plants contains 289 sheets of specimens. The majority of these specimens are flowering plants; in particular Gramineae, Scrophulariaceae and Salicaceae specimens. There is also a small selection of ferns, such as ferns belonging to Polypodiaceae. The majority of specimens in the Iceland Collection were collected in the summer of 1981 from Norour-Isafjaroarsysla in the Westfjords of Iceland, mainly by K.D. Large. However, there are also 86 specimens collected between the 1890s and 1930s, including some collected by the Danish botanist Johannes Grøntved. There are several Carex specimens amongst these older plants and also a small selection of Draba specimens, including 4 samples of Draba rupestris. | Source: | University of Aberdeen | Address: | King's College,
