説明

The Tasmanian Herbarium (HO) houses more than 250,000 plant specimens covering all major plant groups. It is part of a closely linked network of Australian State and Territory herbaria and represents the most comprehensive scientific record of the Tasmanian flora in the world. Nonvascular plants form a major component of the Tasmanian Herbarium, which represents one of the major repositories of lichen and bryophyte collections in Australia. The history of Tasmanian Botany and of the Herbarium are outlined briefly. The botanical collections at HO are more than heritage items or taxonomic specimens, but underpin a wide range of scientific, economic and social activities. These include: traditional systematics research and compilation of Floras; vouchering of ecological and floristic surveys, especially in habitats subject to severe modification or degradation; underpinning decisions relating to land management and development; providing baseline data on species distributions that support flora conservation; contributing to Tasmania's economic development through involvement in biochemical research, plant quarantine and weed control; and public education by providing a window to Tasmania's rich and diverse flora for all the community.
