Herbarium

General Collection
Closed Herbaria

With it’s around 6,000,000 specimens, the collection of the CJB is one of the most important in the world. It is derived from a long tradition of botany in Geneva that dates back to the 1800’s. It contains plants and fungi from the entire world, but in particular, those of the Mediterranean, the Near and Far East, South America and Europe.

The Herbarium is not open to the public. However, group visits are organized several times per year, in the framework of public visits.
