The historical collections of Caspar Bauhin, Jacob Hagenbach, and Werner de Lachenal (BAS) are also digitized, as is the orchid herbarium Jany Renz (RENZ)
The orchid herbarium Jany Renz (RENZ)
Jany Renz (1907-1999) was a chemist, chief officer of pharmaceutical research at Sandoz AG in Basel, and a passionate student of orchids. A large portion of Renz’ ca. 30’000 magnificent orchid specimens contain floral dissections. His specimens are unparalleled in quality of preparation and aesthetic presentation. The herbarium that emphasizes global orchid diversity was bequeathed to the university jointly with Jany Renz’ excellent and complete orchid library. The herbarium has close ties to the private foundation “Swiss Orchid Foundation at the Herbarium Jany Renz” that coordinated the assembly of the World Orchid Iconography database.
RENZ is comprehensively digitized and integrated into the World Orchid Iconography database.
Online access to the databases is currently under development.
