We present a study of the Sociedad Botánica Barcelonesa herbarium, carried out in a project which involves the documentation, computerization and revision of the historical herbaria conserved in the Botanical Institute of Barcelona. This society exchanged plants from 1872 to 1878 and was the first of this kind in Spain. The herbarium contains 1.211 sheets collected in Spain (58%), France (25%), Italy (13%) and other Mediterranean countries (6%). Among the most important collectors we highlight Gandoger, Negri, R. Bolòs, Vayreda, Rodríguez Femenías, Loscos or Costa. We present the transcription of the labels of six type sheets (Allium purpureum Loscos, Antirrhinum ruscinonense Debeaux, Arenaria minutiflora Loscos, Chaenorhinum thymiflorum Loscos, Cressa loscosii Trèmols in Loscos and Delphinium loscosii Costa) and other specimens of taxonomical or corological interest such as Nothobartsia spicata or Carex bicolor.
