Introduction:

With the presentation of our Index Seminum 1990 we take the opportunity to inform you on the latest development concerning the University Botanic Gardens of the State University of Utrecht.

. Due to our activities for the celebration of the 350^** anniversary in 1989, we were unable to produce an Index Seminum for that year. From now on we intend to issue one again every year.

. In the past two years the staff has been expanded with an Educational Department, consisting of Mrs. A. Kühn and Mr. J. Vos, both on a voluntary basis.

. In 1989 the Government supported the Utrecht University financially to build new greenhouses to accommodate the Utrecht half of the Willy Commelin Scholten Institute for Phytopathology, formerly located in Baarn (the Institute was a joint venture between the Universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht). In 1990 the building activities started.

. In 1991 the Utrecht University celebrates her 355*^*’ anniversary. To celebrate this, amongst others, an international congress on education for botanic gardens will be supported. This congress, quot;A Natural Environment for Learningquot;, that will be held 13 -16 May 1991, is organized by the quot;Botanic Gardens and Industrial Liaison Office Utrecht Universityquot;, the quot;Dutch Botanic Gardens Foundationquot;, the quot;Botanic Gardens Education Network (B.G.E.N.)quot;, and the quot;Botanic Gardens Conservation Secretariat B.G.C.S.quot;. The purpose of the congress is to inform the staff of botanic gardens about the possibilities that are open to them, and to forge co-operation between botanic gardens in the field of Education on Nature and Environment (E.N.E.).

The Botanic Gardens of Utrecht are developing specializations on the following groups and taxa:

-Alpinous plants

-selected woodland plants (Arisaenia, Arisarum, Penstemon amp;nbsp;Trillium)

-Annonaceae

-Conifers (esp. Tsuga)

-Flora of the Neotropics: Flora of the Guianas

Gesneriaceae

Orchidaceae

Zingiberaceae

-Lactiferous plants: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Euphorbia

Hoya

-Broad-leaved hardy trees and shrubs:

Aceraceae nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Betulaceae nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Ericaceae

Euonymus nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Laburnum nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Magnolia

Oleaceae

These specializations are given extra attention regarding verification, nomenclature etc.

We are especially interested in material from natural sources of the groups and taxa mentioned above. We will be much obliged if (besides the material from your seedlist) you can supply us with other species from, or draw our attention to, special stocks in your collections.

Furthermore, we intend a closer cooperation with Botanic Gardens with specializations on one or more of the taxa mentioned above. Enclosed you will find an inquiry about the specializations you hold from the taxa mentioned above. You are kindly requested to fill it out, and return it, even if you are not interested in co-operation, as the information thus gathered may also be useful to our Dutch colleagues.

Verification:

The seeds in this list have been taken from verified plants and only if we were reasonably sure that cross-pollination with related species would be unlikely.

Seeds derived from a plant in cultivation but from known natural source ( not necessarily Fl generation). Seeds from a plant from other Botanical Garden or Institute; not from known natural source.

INQUIRY ABOUT THE SPECIALIZATIONS OF BOTANIC GARDENS

With this inquiry we hope to establish a co-operation with fellow botanic gardens to further develop our current expertise. Such a co-operation can be mutually advantageous (exchange of expertise, quality material, etc.), and can also be instrumental on reducing unnecessary duplication.

A specialization in the sense used here is a (taxonomic) group, which is given extra attention regarding verification, nomenclature, literature gathered, etc.

We intend a close co-operation with Botanic Gardens with specializations on one or more of the taxa mentioned on the next page. You are kindly requested to fill it out, and return it, even if you are not interested in co-operation, as the information thus gathered is also useful for dutch scientists and scientific institutes. If you indicated that you are interested in co-operation, you will be contacted subsequently.

On the next page you will find a survey of the Utrecht specializations. Other specializations are also of importance, as other Dutch Botanic Gardens may also be interested in such a co-operation. You can keep page 2 of this questionnaire for your own information.

Such

a collection can turn into a reference collection after the

(taxonomic) research has been terminated.

a well-documented specialization to which scientific publications preferably refer. Practically all material has been identified and the nomenclature is correct.

Garden specializations

These specialisations are given two qualifications, one stating the stage of development which the collection has reached so far, and one stating the nature of the specialization:

-stage of development:

fi nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;field of interest: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;phase of building up, implicating a strong accent on introduction and study.

fp nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Focal-point collection: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;phase of maturity, implicating a strong accent on maintenance and publication.

-nature of the specialization:

ib in-breadth specialization: collection covering a relatively large group, e.g. a family, xerophytes, conifers, being a representative collection of such a group.

id in-depth specialization: collection covering a small, sharply defined group, such as a genus or part of one, aimed at reaching a large amount of completeness, including diversity within the species. Such a specialization can result in a reference collection.
