The oldest herbarium specimen at CAL is 300 years + from Australia (Cyperaceae).

Ramesh Chandra Srivastava

Kindly mention details of the specimens

Kindly contact Dr V P Prasad. He has published a paper in Nelumbo on the said specimen. If you need his email id let me know.

Google search reveals that there are older specimens in some herbaria of Rome.

I overlooked your question. You can contact the herbaria in Sweden for the first herbarium specimen.

I guess it is likely to be pasted in a book wherever it is deposited.
