With the presentation of our Index Seminum 1992 we take the opportunity, as usual, to inform you on the latest developments concerning the Botanic Gardens of Utrecht University.
In april last year, we welcomed Arie Oudijk as a new member of staff. He will fulfil the vacancy of Deputy Director. Within the Educational Department, Hanneke Potters has left us to take up teaching in Biology.
In may of this year, a thorough change in lay-out of the public entrance was completed, including an Information Desk and a Garden Shop. Several volunteers were prepared for a task as host, who are now running the Garden Shop and Information Desk at the entrance of Fort Hoofddijk, our Main Garden.
Many activities have been started in Education: two different courses were organized for training guides (conducting tours through the Gardens), most of which are students in Biology. All the activities with volunteers and students are very rewarding and we are very pleased with such generous support.
Another feature was a drastic change in opening hours: for the first time in their history, Utrecht Botanic Gardens are now open to the general public seven days of the week in the period april -October. For the time being, during the winter period, the Main Garden remains closed in the weekend.
In november 1992 we published a completely updated edition of our Catalogue of Plant Collections. The Biology Faculty of Utrecht University enabled this by generous financial support. New in this Catalogue is the supply of the WCMC (World Conservation Monitoring Centre) - codes. By sending our records in electronic (ITF-)form to the Botanic Gardens Conservation International, our database was screened on rare and endangered plants.
The Catalogue has been sent to many Botanic Gardens and Institutions. Curators who are interested, but have not received this Catalogue yet, are invited to send their request to us.
In november and december, one of the curators, Mr. Van den Wollenberg, was enabled to participate in a 5-week collecting trip

On this trip, seeds of about 180 plant species were collected, and some of these have been included in thid Index Seminum.

-Annonaceae (Research Collection)
-Conifers (esp. Tsuga)
-Broad-leaved hardy trees and shrubs:

These specializations are given extra attention regarding verification, nomenclature, wild source material, etc.
Note: nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In view of the evaluation of the policy regarding Garden
Specializations, which is still in progress, this survey will undergo some changes in the near future.
We are especially interested in material from natural sources of the groups and taxa mentioned above. We have a cooperation with gardens with identical specializations. If you are interested, please contact us and we will provide additional information.
