The herbarium collection of the Charles University in Prague (Herbarium Universitatis Carolinae Pragensis, international herbarium acronym: PRC) houses more than 2,200,000 specimens of algae, bryophytes, fungi, lichens and vascular plants. A seed collection consisting of more than 20,000 samples and representing ca 11,000 taxa of vascular plants is also a part of PRC. Due to its size, age (founded in 1775), geographical coverage and importance (tens of thousands of type specimens),the PRC collection belongs to the 25 biggest and oldest herbaria in the world and the collections within which are housed by the university institutions are ranked in the top 10 (Index Herbariorum, the 8th printed edition, 1990). The PRC collections contribute to a wide range of scientific activities in plant systematics, ecology, biogeography, floristics, conservation biology and paleoecology at the Charles University and in other institutions throughout the world.
