The IRATI Herbarium began its activities on June 10, 2002, as an Institutional Extension Project. It has been located in the Department of Forestry Engineering of the State University of the Central-West (UNICENTRO), Irati/PR campus, Nature Conservation Laboratory, since 2008. At the time, the acronym for the herbarium was HUCO, but it became IRATI when it was registered in the Index Herbariorum. The IRATI Herbarium maintains a collection predominantly of representatives of the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, but there are also specimens from Dense and Seasonal Forests, Steppe and Savanna, as well as some other less represented ecosystems. It maintains an exchange policy with exchange and loan programs.
