Abstract: The botanical exploration of Bolivia during the last two centuries did not leave a botanical legacy in the country. Only towards the end of the 20 th century Bolivia saw the start of the biology careers at its universities and the development of its own herbaria. Nowadays there are important herbaria in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Sucre with collections ranging between 40,000 and 350,000 specimens. In 2014 a catalogue of the vascular flora of Bolivia was published under the auspices of the Missouri Bota… Show more

“…This ecogeographical diversity is the reason why Bolivia harbours one of the highest biodiversity levels in the world ( Feuerer et al 1998 ; Josse et al 2003 ). About 15000 vascular plant species have been documented, over 2000 of which are endemic ( Jørgensen et al 2014 ; Meneses et al 2015 ). An exceptionally high diversity is also observed in lichens and lichenicolous fungi (e.g.…”
