Inlägg med Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach som nyckelord.

The German botanist and orchid geek Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach is probably known to many of you. His extensive herbarium, which included many orchid specimen, was inherited by the Naturhistorisches Museum in my home town Vienna, under rather odd circumstances im 1889.
The collection is not usually on display, but I recently found this nice virtual herbarium site Click "Access the database",
select "Herbarium W" under Institution, and then "W-Rchb.Orch." under Collection and then type eg cattleya in Taxon field. There's also a radio button for showing data sets with images only.
Have fun browsing orchid specimen collected in the 19th century!
