The paper describes the Malagasy collections in the cryptogamic herbarium of the Eszterházy Károly Catholic University (EGR), Eger (Hungary), according to its condition in 2022. All specimens were documented: all data from the labels were entered into MS Excel spreadsheet, and in the case of type material digital photographs are also taken. The oldest Malagasy specimens hosted in the herbarium are the isotypes of Brachymenium borgenianum Hampe and Bryum subargenteum Hampe, both specimens collected by M. Borgen in 1870. The main aim was to digitalize and publish information on the cryptogam herbarium in order to provide an easier access to the data.
