CIRAD herbarium contains 70,000 specimens, including 60 types, representing nearly 5 500 species, mostly from the dry tropical zone of Africa, but also from other tropical regions. Started in the 50’s this herbarium was initially specialized on the forage and grazing species of tropical Africa. Since 1995 he has become the ALF herbarium of CIRAD and continues to be added by more diverse themes: tropical weed control, forest ecology, agroecology, ethnobotany…
