中国科学院植物研究所标本馆的历史可追溯到1928年成立的北平静生生物调查所植物部标本室和1929年成立的北平研究院植物研究所标本室。七十多年来,经过几代植物学家和技术人员的艰苦努力,已发展为亚洲最大的植物标本馆,目前馆藏腊叶标本愈220万号,其中苔藓标本28万号、蕨类标本15万号和种子植物标本177万号;并妥善保藏了1万余份模式标本。还有8万号种子标本和7万号化石植物标本。
几十年来,我馆以其丰富的馆藏量、良好的工作条件和管理水平吸引着众多专家学者,迄今已与39个国家和地区的100余个植物标本馆建立了标本借阅和交换业务,为《中国植物志》等一系列专著的编研、植物学学科的发展和科普教育做出了重要贡献。
标本馆的定位和目标:充分利用现有的人才优势和资源优势,建设成为东亚植物标本的保藏中心和经典分类研究中心,在馆藏标本、研究和管理水平以及硬件建设等方面力争达到国际一流水平。
标本馆的发展规划: 1、通过采集和交换(特别是收集我国没有分布的重要类群)等途径,增加标本馆藏量; 2、建立稳定的经典分类研究队伍,培养后备人才,深入开展植物分类学研究; 3、加快标本馆数据库的建设; 4、进一步加强植物学科普教育基地建设。
Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences Herbarium (PE) The history of the Herbarium (PE), Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences can be traced to the Herbarium, Department of Botany, the Fan Memorial Institute of Biology, Peiping (1928), as well as the Herbarium, Institute of Botany, the National Academy of Peiping (1929). Since then about seven decades have passed, PE has developed into the largest herbarium in Asia. The current collection contains more than 2,200,000 specimens (280,000 mosses, 150,000 ferns and 17,700,000 seed plants). In addition, over 10,000 type specimens, 80,000 seed specimens and 70,000 plant fossil samples are preserved and maintained in the herbarium. During the last several decades, the Herbarium has attracted many experts and researchers by its rich collection and excellent facilities. Up to now, over 100 herbaria of 39 countries and districts have set up specimen loan and exchange programs with us. PE has made important contributions to the research and compilation of major floristic and monographic studies, such as the “Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae”, as well as the development of modern botany, and public education in plant sciences.
The mission of the PE Herbarium is to make full use of the current strengths of its staff members and collections; develop into a center of East-Asian plant specimen collections and research on plant taxonomy; and strive to become an international leader in collection-based research and herbarium management. PE will increase the herbarium collection by expanding its collecting and exchange programs (particularly emphasizing important groups distributed outside of China); set up a strong research team of taxonomists; train the future generation of taxonomists; further develop the virtual herbarium; and strengthen the public education programs in plant sciences.
