Barina, Z.: János Hanák and his Herbarium

HANÁK collected his plants at places where he was learning and teaching, mainly in Máramarossziget (1842), Vác (1844-45) and Buda (1846-). The locations are rather inaccurate as in the case of the other collections in that era. He mentions usually only the town, from where he arrived to his excursions. The labels enclosed to the plants contain only little information about the parameters of collecting: usually without exact date and additional information and a lot of without any data. HANÁK hardly ever signed the labels, only a few hold the abbreviation "Hk" referring to JÁNOS HANÁK. Most of the plants are determined, only a few are undetermined. The scientific names are indicated too, but frequently without or with wrong author names. The date might indicate the date of preparing the specimens in some cases, instead of the date of collecting (cf. the list below).
