        Josep Planellas i Giralt (1820-1888) was a Catalan doctor and botanist who was a professor of natural history at the University of Santiago de Compostela (1849-68) and at the University of Barcelona (1868-88), where he served as interim rector (1880). During his stay in Santiago de Compostela he studied the flora of Galicia and published the "Ensayo de una Flora Fanerogámica Gallega" (1852), the first flora of Galícia. In this work he described 12 new taxa. Its herbarium includes about 2.500 sheets, mostly collected in Galicia; also includes many garden plants grown in the Botanical Garden of Santiago, other plants obtained by exchange with contemporary scientists (Willkomm, Lange, etc.) and some ones collected in Catalonia. The digitalization of the J. Planellas herbarium is an ongoing project that initially focused on the most well preserved specimens and on the nomenclatural types.
