The former herbarium of Utrecht University (U), has a strong focus on tropical America, especially the Guianas and the Netherlands Antilles. It has around 700,000 collections. The former herbarium of the Biosystematics Group of Wageningen University (WAG) houses c. 900,000 specimens. It focuses on tropical Africa, with particular emphasis on material from the rain forests of west and central Africa, but it also holds an important collection of Ethiopian plants. Since Wageningen has its origin in an Agricultural University, WAG also contains many cultivated plants.
