| Research Abstract |
Mr. Miyoshi FURUSE (1912-1966), one of well-known plant collectors of Japan, had collected many Japanese plants from the subarctic north of Hokkaido to the tropical south of Okinawa, including the Ogasawara Islands. He had preserved and kept over hundred fifty thousand sheets of plant specimens. We reexamined the herbarium materials in China, United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States, and Japan in order to build the meta-database using plant specimen images. In the process of investigation, it became clear that PE (Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences), K (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), NA (United States National Arboretum, USDA/ARS) and GH (Herbarium of Harvard University) had deposited many specimens collected by Mr. Miyoshi FURUSE. Furthermore, we are abele to discriminate 83 type materials of 27 taxa containing 24 holotype. Those materials are here reported with their images and some botanical notes.
