ISBS: 350 years Botanic Gardens Utrecht.

In ISBS ue mill elaborately celebrate the anniversary of the Botanic Gardens of the State University at Utrecht.

After having concentrated our Gardens last year Cthe Dain Garden Project!, the established quot;nain Garden” with its neu greenhouses uill be officially opened in May ISBS.

Other highlights uill be:

• • nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the National Orchid Show Cin coopération uith the Dutch Orchid Society!;

• * nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the National Sweet Pea Show Cin coopération with the Dutch Sweat Pea Society!;

• • nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Presentation of the International Dendrology Society Conservation Award to the Uon Gimborn arboretum Cour satellite-garden!;

• • nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;a congress on the theme:quot;The future of Botanical Bardens and Collections in The Netherlandsquot;.

After having operated with our databasesystem BUDl for over B years, we now plan a further integration of our collection-administration in an advanced integrated database-system, called BUD3. It will comprise a relational database, affiliated utilities typically used by Botanical Bardens, such as a Crenewed! Seedmanager

2

with quot;Stock-monitoringquot; For the u®®*^^y Seed Exchange, and a multi-user environment for multiple use of our collections-database. The IBPBR-International Transfer Format for date-exchange of plantreoords will be supported.

The stand-alone version of this sgstom will be called BUDE. Both can be purchased by dutch fellow-Botanic Gardens.

For the moment no software can be sold to foreign Institutions or persons since technical support and the release of a manual in the english language is still beyond the scope of our possibilities.

The data for this Index Seminum are automatically processed using BUDl and the accompanying text is added by means of a wordprocessor.

The Decentralized National Plantcollection CD.N.P.l:

In the past the 0 dutch University Botanic Gardens developed a plan for the realization of a National Plantcollection. Each participating Gardens specializes in a number of taxa and takes responsibility for these taxa in the other Gardens. Recently a foundation has been installed by the Dutch Government in order to enhance the the already existing cooperation between the Gardens and to speed up the activities which should render the D.N.P. operational. This foundation is called the quot;Stichting Nederlandse Plantentuinenquot; (Foundation Dutch Botanic Gardens 1.
