The Herbarium of the Department of Botany (RFA) of the Institute of Biology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro was created in 1954 by Professor Paulo Occhioni in oder to support teaching and research activities. The herbarium had its origin from collections gathered at the Medical School of Rio de Janeiro and it was represented by 794 exsiccates from the European Flora Collection by the botanist J.C. Ducommun. Subsequently, the collection has been expanded with samples from Flora of Rio de Janeiro acquired during periodic botanical expeditions. Currently, there are 45,260 specimens of plants and fungi in the herbarium. There are 118 nomenclatural types and two auxiliary collections, such as Carpotheque and Photo Library. RFA is a dynamic collection that focuses on scientific dissemination and other activities, such as teaching, extension and research, mainly because it is part of the University.
