Institute For Systematic Botany | Herbarium Use Policy
Loans are made for one year to botanical institutions or departments engaged in taxonomicresearch. 2000 Institute for Systematic botany Last Updated March
http://www.plantatlas.usf.edu/isb/use.htm

Extractions: The University of South Florida (USF) Herbarium facility is primarily for teaching and research by the USF faculty, staff, and students. In addition, the facilities are open for systematic research (e.g. monographic, floristic, revisionary studies) by individuals associated with other universities and research institutions on a reciprocal basis. Researchers conducting projects specifically related to plant systematics are encouraged to use the collections. Initially, such researchers must contact the Director or Curator for permission to use the collections. Standard and common sense care for the specimens must be maintained at all times, including but not limited to the following: Persons working with the collection will be expected to fully understand its organization. Specimens must be properly refiled. If there is any question about the positioning of material, it should be refiled by herbarium personnel. Sheets are to be handled with care. Do not bend, break, or tear the sheets, and do not turn them face down.

Botany Of Plane Trees

http://www.chengappa.demon.co.uk/planes/text/botany.html

Extractions: Plane trees, genus Platanus L., form the only genus in the dicotyledon family Platanaceae, in the order Hamamelidales. The order and genus arose early in the evolution of flowering plants, and fossil specimens are known from the earlier Cretaceous period, over 100 million years ago. The trees are deciduous and bisexual (both sexes borne on the same tree.) There are about 6-7 species, all trees from the northern hemisphere, mostly in temperate regions. Platanus kerrii is found in Indochina, Platanus orientalis in West Asia and South Europe, and Platanus occidentalis, P. racemosa, P. wrightii, P. lindeniana are from North America. A detailed botanical description of the family and genus can be found at this website . Some aids to identifying the distinct varieties can be found here on this site. All plane trees are large, generally 20-50m high. Flaking bark that peels away in thin sheets, often leaving a dappled trunk is a common characteristic. However forms occur in which the bark is retained. Leaves are borne alternately on the stem. They are always simple (not split into leaflets). In most species they are palmately lobed and veined, (in P. kerrii leaves are unlobed, pinnately serrate and pinnately veined). The axillary bud on the shoot is covered completely during the growing season by the base of the petiole, which may be swollen to accomodate it. The shoots and young leaves are covered by hairs or a fine down when young, this is probably to protect the young tissue from sunlight and water loss. The hairs are usually shed as the leaves mature, but sometimes they are partially retained on the underside of the leaves. Stipules are often present, part of each stipule forming a tube around the shoot, the rest of it forming a leafy extension.

http://www.sdnhm.org/research/botany/policies.html

Extractions: Policies and Protocols Policies that govern the acquisition, care and use of specimens were formally approved by the San Diego Society of Natural History Board of Trustees in January 1995, with revisions in 1997. The Museum's Collections Policy establishes policies for: code of ethics, acquisitions, documentation and care of collections, deaccessioning, loans, forensic collections and voucher collections repository, sampling and destructive testing, access, etc. The Botany Department establishes departmental procedures to implement the general museum policies within the framework of its disciplinary concerns. Acquisitions Specimens are acquired that will strengthen the existing collection relative to the research priorities of staff and research associates as well as the regional emphasis of the museum. Specimens may be acquired by fieldwork, exchange, gift, purchase, or bequest. Material is accepted from contract projects within the region if well prepared and accompanied by adequate data. Specimens are accepted only with clear documentation of legal title (e.g., proof of permits, landowner permission, etc.). Access to and loans of specimens The primary reason for holding specimens is their use in scientific research and education. Thus the policies for access to collections and for loans are designed to maximize the usefulness of the collections while minimizing risk of damage to or loss of the collections. Loans of specimens are approved by the Curator, and are made to researchers representing not-for profit institutions. Students may borrow specimens only with the written approval of their faculty advisor. Loans are made for one year at a time, with consideration of written renewal requests. Any restrictions due to the physical nature of the specimen or particular value (scientific or commercial) are clearly identified before the loan is finally approved. Staff make every effort to respond to loan requests promptly.

His early explorations in China took place in the central part of the country, where the flora is similar to that of eastern North America; in 1988, with Bruce Bartholomew of the California Academy of Sciences, he collected in the easternmost part of the Hengduan region in eastern Sichuan; and in 1995 he organized an expedition to the border of Tibet, in south central Qinghai. Since 1997 Dr. Boufford has worked on determining the western and southern boundaries of the Hengduan Mountain hotspot while continuing to collect specimens of vascular plants, bryophytes, and fungi. He has also done fieldwork in Bhutan, Japan, South Korea, Nepal, and Taiwan. Associate curator Susan Kelley is responsible for developing and managing the Arnold Arboretum's digital mapping system. In 2000 she became the first non-Asian woman to participate in an extensive botanical field expedition in Tibet. She had previously done fieldwork with Taiwanese botanists in the mountains of Taiwan.

Extractions: Herbarium Use Welcome Message Contact Us Site Index Links The herbarium is used by many individuals in the public and in the university community. The herbarium staff are consulted on identification of plants poisonous to both animals and humans. We assist farmers and members of the various government ministries on weed species as well as endangered species. Persons from the horticultural trade as well as landscape architects, environmental consultants utilize our resources. University students from a variety of disciplines such as biology, geography, zoology, veterinary medicine, crop science and entomology come to the herbarium to use our extensive library, our expertise and the actual herbarium specimens. Professors and students doing graduate work are frequent visitors to confirm scientific names or borrow specimens from other institutions. Most herbaria have an international program of borrowing and lending herbarium specimens to other institutions. We also have an active exchange program that is essential for increasing our international holdings of plant species.

Extractions: Ph.D. 2001 Plant Systematics and Phytochemistry, University of Ottawa How did you become interested in plant biology? I entered Biological Sciences unspecialized because I was an Arts and Science student who had many interests. After first focusing on Marine Biology for a year as a possible future, I became inspired by the teachings of Dr. Larry Peterson and Dr. Greenwood in Introductory Botany during the fall semester of my second year (1994). Perhaps because I felt more at ease on campus and in my classes, but also definitely as a result of their teaching styles and the labs, I gained a tremendous insight from this course and decided to fill my schedule with various botanical courses. Why did you choose the University of Guelph to pursue a degree? I chose the University of Guelph because it offered FLEXIBILITY in designing your own program for a degree that would give a really good overview of many areas of Biology. I was also excited to be part of a University with a legacy, but also the obvious lack of pretension or "eliteness" that is often my experience in visiting other old Ontario institutions. Being a student at U of Guelph is about stretching for the heights with the constant reminder that we all need to maintain our "roots" firmly planted in the earth.

Extractions: Overview: UCM museum collections date back to the 1870's, before its founding in 1902. The museum is now split into five sections each with its own staff. The four sections involved in this grant are: 1) Zoology 2) Paleontology and Geology 3) Botany, and 4) Entomology. Over the last three years, the condition of the UCM collections and their data has been substantially enhanced as the result of two NSF-funded collections improvement projects (NSF DBI 9728995, NSF DEB 9709543). Collections: Zoology . The Zoology Section collections strength is in the bioregion, especially Colorado and the surrounding plains, plateaus and basins. All of the collections (mollusks, other invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals) are the largest in the state except for the birds, which are the second largest. The collections are approximately 85% databased. Paleontology . The Geology Section of the UCM houses the Paleontology Collection, which emphasizes the Cenozoic fossil record of the Rocky Mountain region. Including invertebrates (primarily insects, spiders, and mollusks), vertebrates, and plants, the collections is the largest in numbers of catalogued specimens in the Rocky Mountain region.

Extractions: The purpose of this document is to describe the regulations pertaining to the loan of herbarium specimens from Carnegie Museum of Natural History Herbarium. CM's loan policy follows the suggestions outlined in The Herbarium Handbook, by Forman and Bridson (1989). Safety and preservation of the herbarium collection is the basis for this policy. 1. Loan requests will be accepted only from institutions with appropriate facilities for storage of herbarium specimens. Such institutions must accept responsibility for the safe custody and return of the loan. Loans are not made to individuals. Use of material by graduate students must be made under the supervision of a major professor. 2. Loan requests should be addressed to the Curator and should include the name of the borrower and a short description of the project. 3. Loans of herbarium specimens are made for a period of one year, with the exception of type specimens that are available for a period of three months. Renewals may be requested in writing to the Curator. Except for type specimens, loans should be returned in their entirety. Type material must be returned via registered first class mail. Specimens must be carefully packed to avoid damage in transit. 4. All specimens are to be treated with utmost care thereby conserving them for future studies. Specimens should remain in their covers except during actual examination. Normally one to a few sheets of each species will be retained for reference purposes.

Instruction fees (currently $3,286 per semester) are waived for the academic year. Half of the University fees, which totals $1,312 for the academic year is also waived. The required health-and-accident insurance premium (currently $624 per year) is not waived. The general fee and insurance premium are subject to increase, as are stipend amounts. Supplemental Graduate Academic Achievement Scholarships of $5,000 are available from the Graduate School for outstanding applicants. These scholarships are allocated on a competitive basis and are non-renewable. Graduate students may apply to our department's Academic Challenge Grant Program, whereby students write NSF-format short proposals for consideration by a panel of faculty that meets twice a year. Students can access up to $2,000 per proposal for virtually any legitimate research need and in doing so not only acquire funds for their own work but also gain valuable experience in grant writing. We spend over $25,000 in departmental funds each year on graduate student research projects. Additional grants for field research trips are also available. In addition, we feel that attending scientific conferences and presenting your work at national and international meetings is essential. To assist you in this effort, our policy is to provide at least $250 per meeting in departmental support to you if you are presenting a national/international paper, and $100 per meeting if you are attending and not presenting. Miami Botany graduate students annually present some 30-40 abstracted papers and we expend over $8,000 per year in meeting support.

The Division of Botany is presently collaborating with many institutions and scientists in interlocked research projects designed to provide essential information about the environment and maintain a robust informational network to disburse the data to interested parties in all walks of life. These projects include: Flora NeoTropica, an identification manual for all the green plants of tropical New World is a multi-institutional project like the Flora of North America. The Curator and the Research Fellow are also contributing scientific treatments to this large work that will illuminate biodiversity in a critical area of the world. The International Association for Plant Taxonomy establishes the rules for the Code of Nomenclature used by all botanists in describing the results of their research in biodiversity. Presently, electronic publication of new names is not allowed by the rules, but this must change. Exactly how the rules must be modified is the responsibility of the Special Committee on Electronic Publication and Databasing, whose Secretary is the Curator of Botany. By the next International Botanical Congress in Vienna, 2005, new rules governing electronic publication must be finalized for consideration and a vote by the botanical community.
