University of Florida Herbarium - Lichens (FLAS)

Important collections include those of William W. Calkins, Dana G. Griffin, III, Severin Rapp, and Roger L. Rosentreter. The FLAS acronym is the standard international abbreviation for the University of Florida Herbarium. It is derived from the herbarium's early association with the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
