Description
The Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau Herbarium (CEPEC), affiliated with CEPLAC (Executive Commission for the Cocoa Cultivation Plan), was established in 1964 to study and document the flora of southern Bahia and parts of northern Espírito Santo—regions where cocoa plantations (Theobroma cacao L.) were being implemented. After a decade, the herbarium's collection began to expand, and by the late 1970s, it was indexed in the Index Herbariorum, housing approximately 35,000 specimens. Today, the CEPEC Herbarium holds around 160,000 specimens, making it one of the largest herbaria in northeastern Brazil. It is particularly notable for its extensive collections from Atlantic Forest remnants, especially in the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo.

O Herbário Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau (CEPEC), vinculado a CEPLAC (Comissão Executiva do Plano da Lavoura Cacaueira), foi criado em 1964 com o intuito de conhecer e documentar a flora do sul da Bahia e algumas áreas ao norte do estado do Espírito Santo, regiões onde estavam sendo implementadas a lavoura cacaueira (Theobroma cacau L.). Após dez anos, o acervo do herbário começou a se expandir sendo indexado no Index Herbariorum no final da década de 70’, quando abrigava ca. 35.000 exemplares. Hoje o Herbário CEPEC possui um acervo com ca. 160.000 exsicatas, sendo um dos maiores herbários do Nordeste e destaca-se pela sua representatividade de coleções em remanescentes de Floresta Atlântica, principalmente nos estados da Bahia e do Espírito Santo.
