Research Abstract |
Examination of the botanical specimens assembled by von Siebold and von Siebold's collaborators in Japan was conducted at the National Herbarium in Leiden, the Netherlands. We found a total of 3,500 sheets of dried specimens in 800 species. Those were examined and photographed. Von Siebold was given specimens from Japanese naturalists. Most of those specimens were indicated in the label as collected by Ito Keiske. However, we found many of them were actually collected by other Japanese such as Mizutani Sukeroku and Okochi Zonshin. Type specimens of the species described by von Siebold, Zuccarini, Miquel and Blume were searched and examined. We cooperated the completion of CD including 700 important Japanese specimens at the National Herbarium. The CD will be distributed in 2000 to important herbariums in the worlds. Preliminary examination of the specimens was conducted in 1999 at the Stattlich Sammulung Munchen in Munich and 200 sheets including type specimens were studied. It became clear that the herbarium houses at least 2,000 sheets of specimens mostly originated from the Rijksmuseum in Leiden. We found that a portion of types described by von Siebold and Zuccarini are houses there.
