          Abstract

          Abstract This article visits the history of Brazil-Sweden's partnership in botany and the contribution of Anders Fredrik Regnell and other botanical collectors to the knowledge of Brazilian flora. The importance of the herbarium of Stockholm (S) is widely recognized for its collections of Brazilian plants, one of the largest in the world. The majority of the collections from Brazil date from the period between the second half of nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. The main collectors of Brazilian flora from that phase, whose bulk of collections are in Stockholm are Anders Regnell, Gustaf Malme, Per Dusén, Carl Lindman and many others sponsored by the Regnellian fund. The herbarium also houses substantial collections of August Glaziou, a great contributor to the knowledge of the flora of state of Goiás, and Adolf Ducke, pioneer in the taxonomy of Amazonian tree species. The cooperation between Brazil and Sweden is currently being renewed through Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden and the Reflora Program, allowing repatriation of Brazilian specimens housed in Stockholm.

          Resumo Este artigo aborda o histórico da parceria Brasil-Suécia em botânica e a contribuição de Anders Fredrik Regnell e outros coletores botânicos para o conhecimento da flora brasileira com coleções significativas na Suécia. A importância do herbário de Estocolmo (S) é amplamente reconhecida por suas coleções de plantas brasileiras, uma das maiores do mundo. A maioria das coleções do Brasil data do período compreendido entre a segunda metade do século XIX e início do século XX. Dentre os principais coletores da flora brasileira dessa fase, cuja maior parte de coleções estão em Estocolmo estão os suecos Anders Regnell, Gustaf Malme, Per Dusen, Carl Lindman e muitos outros. O herbário também abriga coleções substanciais de August Glaziou, grande contribuidor para o conhecimento da flora do estado de Goiás, e Adolf Ducke, pioneiro na taxonomia de espécies de árvores amazônicas. A cooperação entre Brasil e Suécia está sendo renovada através da parceria entre o Museu de História Natural de Estocolmo e o Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro através do Programa Reflora, que permitirá o repatriamento de espécimes brasileiros alojados em Estocolmo.
