Records of the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre

The Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre is a seed bank facility based at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. It was opened in 2005 as part of international Millennium Seed Bank Project. The seed bank is focused on the native flora of Tasmania, with a particular emphasis on Tasmania's Rare and Threatened plants. A small number of introduced weeds and garden exotics are also held. The seed bank currently has one full time member of staff and a number of volunteers who assist in the processing and curation of the seed collections. Collecting priorities for the seed bank are informed and assisted by staff of the Biodiversity and Conservation Branch of Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment. Collection verification is handled by the staff of the Tasmanian Herbarium.

塔斯马尼亚种子保护中心（Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre）是坐落于皇家塔斯马尼亚植物园（Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens）的种子银行设施，于2005年作为国际千年种子银行项目（Millennium Seed Bank Project）的组成部分正式启用。该种子银行以塔斯马尼亚本土植物区系为核心保育对象，尤其侧重塔斯马尼亚的珍稀与濒危植物，同时亦收纳少量外来杂草及园艺外来品种。目前该种子银行仅配备1名全职工作人员，另有多名志愿者协助开展种子馆藏的处理与管护工作。其种子采集优先级的制定，由塔斯马尼亚州初级产业、公园、水利与环境部（Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment）的生物多样性与保护科工作人员提供指导与协助；馆藏采集的验证工作则由塔斯马尼亚植物标本馆（Tasmanian Herbarium）的工作人员负责完成。
