The cryptogam collections of the Australian National Herbarium are located on the ANBG site, about 800 m SW of the main Angiosperm collection on the CSIRO site.

The fern collection is stored in standard compactus shelving using the same folders as the Angiosperm collections.

Bryophytes

Bryophytes: The bryophytes are split into three groups, the mosses, the liverworts and the hornworts and are stored vertically in packets or boxes in drawers of special storage cabinets.

(see the Bryophyte website developed by Heino Lepp)

Lichens
