Herbarium Collections and iFlora

doi:10.7677/ynzwyj201313185

Abstract

Abstract:

The new generation flora, iFlora, is essentially different from other traditional floras, in that it will contain a library of genetic information for use in specimen identification. Based on a combination of recent research and our own laboratory work, we aim in this paper to: 1) discuss the feasibility and irreplaceability of herbarium specimens as materials for use in the iFlora; 2) summarize the major difficulties apparent in the process of genetic information acquisition from herbarium specimens and provide some viable solutions; 3) clarify the importance and significance of herbarium specimens especially the holotype for building the reference library in the iFlora.

Key words: New generation Flora (iFlora), Herbarium specimens, Genetic information, Species identification
