ALCB herbarium - Universidade Federal da Bahia - Herbário Virtual REFLORA

Abstract

The ALCB Herbarium was founded in 1950 by Prof. Dr. Alexandre Leal Costa and was initially conceived to house several historical collections, including those of the Joaquim Monteiro Caminhoá Herbarium (Faculty of Medicine of Bahia – established in 1808 upon the arrival of D. João VI in Brazil), the Herbarium of the Faculty of Philosophy of UFBA (also initiated in 1808), the Herbarium of Colégio Padre Antonio Vieira (founded in 1911), and the collection of Pierre Verger (1902–1996). Verger, an ethnographer, photographer, anthropologist, historian, ethnobotanist, and professor at UFBA, collected plants from candomblé terreiros in Bahia. He personally donated his complete collection to the ALCB Herbarium in 1976, which represents an important part of the cultural and historical heritage of the people of Bahia. The ALCB collection comprises approximately 136,087 specimens, making it the 14th largest herbarium in Brazil and the third largest in Bahia. It includes specimens from all ecosystems in the state, the largest bryophyte collection in the Brazilian Northeast, the fourth-largest marine macroalgae collection in Brazil (and the largest in the North and Northeast regions), and the most extensive collection of macroscopic fungi in the Northeast. Lastly, the ALCB collection is fully digitized, with 37% of the specimens photographed in high definition (HD). The database and images are available on four digital platforms, including speciesLink, SiBBr, Reflora, and GBIF. #-------------------- O ALCB foi fundado em 1950 pelo Prof. Dr. Alexandre Leal Costa e foi inicialmente concebido para abrigar várias coleções históricas, entre elas as do Herbário de Joaquim Monteiro Caminhoá (Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia - iniciada em 1808 quando da chegada de D. João VI ao Brasil), Herbário da Faculdade de Filosofia da UFBA (iniciada em 1808), Herbário do Colégio Padre Antonio Vieira (fundado em 1911) e a coleção de Pierre Verger (1902-1996), etnógrafo, fotógrafo, antropólogo, historiador, etnobotânico e professor da UFBA, que coletou as plantas nos terreiros de candomblés da Bahia. A coleção completa foi doada pelo próprio Verger ao Herbário ALCB em 1976 e representa parte da cultura e memória do povo do estado da Bahia. O acervo do ALCB inclui cerca de 136.087 espécimes, o que o torna o 14º maior herbário do Brasil e o terceiro maior da Bahia. O herbário tem coletas abrangentes em todos os ecossistemas no estado, a maior coleção de briófitas do Nordeste brasileiro, a 4ª maior coleção de macroalgas marinhas do Brasil e a maior do Norte e Nordeste do país, além da maior coleção de fungos macroscópicos da região Nordeste. Por fim, o acervo do ALCB está totalmente informatizado e 37% está fotografado em imagens HD, sendo que o banco de dados e as imagens estão disponibilizados em quatro plataformas digitais (e.g., speciesLink, SiBBr, Reflora, GBIF).
