UNIP herbarium - Universidade Paulista - Herbário Virtual REFLORA
The UNIP Herbarium belongs to the Paulista University of Education and was officially founded in 2003, although it has existed as a reference collection for projects conducted at the institution since 1996. It holds approximately 12,000 records in its collection, comprising angiosperms, gymnosperms, pteridophytes, and bryophytes, including two holotypes and several paratypes (isoparatypes). Most of the herbarium’s specimens come from the Amazon flora, primarily collected through the Rio Negro Project, a long-term study aimed at producing plant extracts and subsequently testing their chemical activity in laboratory settings. This research focuses on the inhibition of human tumor cell growth and the effectiveness of these extracts against antibiotic-resistant bacteria commonly found in hospital environments. Officially, the project is titled "Selection, Extraction, and Identification of New Antitumor and Antibacterial Drugs from Brazilian Plants." The UNIP Herbarium also houses samples from various Brazilian biomes, including the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Caatinga, as well as duplicate specimens from other botanical collections. #-------------------- O Herbário UNIP pertence à Universidade Paulista de Ensino e foi oficialmente fundado em 2003, embora já exista como uma 'coleção de referência' de projetos realizados na Instituição desde 1996. Possui aproximadamente 12.000 registros em sua coleção, composta por angiospermas, gimnospermas, pteridófitas e briófitas, contando com dois holótipos e alguns parátipos (isoparátipos). As amostras do acervo são, em sua maioria, provenientes da flora da Amazônia, oriundas do Projeto Rio Negro, um estudo de longa duração que visa à produção de extratos vegetais e posterior teste laboratorial da ação química desses extratos sobre a inibição de crescimento de células tumorais humanas e de bactérias resistentes a antibióticos convencionais de uso hospitalar [oficialmente, o projeto é denominado de "Seleção, extração e identificação de novas drogas antitumorais e antibacterianas de plantas brasileiras"]. O Herbário UNIP possui, ainda, amostras de vários biomas brasileiros, como a Mata Atlântica, o Cerrado e a Caatinga, além de duplicatas de outros acervos botânicos.
