McGill University Herbarium Database

The McGill University Herbarium currently comprises about 140,000 accessioned sheets, including specimens from the McGill College and Macdonald College Herbaria. It was founded in 1856 with the gift of over 500 specimens collected by Dr. A.F. Holmes in Montreal in the early 1820's and is rich in 19th century collections from North America. More recent collections from Quebec, Ontario, and the circumpolar Arctic, including Greenland and Siberia, form the core of the collection. A large collection of Cyperaceae, especially temperate and arctic Carex worldwide, serve as vouchers for DNA sequence data. The database includes about 20,000 records currently digitized from the McGill University Herbarium.

麦吉尔大学植物标本馆目前收藏了约14万份登记的标本，其中包括来自麦吉尔学院和麦克唐纳学院植物标本馆的标本。该馆成立于1856年，得益于1820年代初期在蒙特利尔由A.F. Holmes博士收集的超过500份标本的捐赠，馆内藏品丰富，尤其是19世纪北美地区的收集。近期收集的藏品主要来自魁北克、安大略以及北极圈附近地区，包括格陵兰和西伯利亚，构成了藏品的核心。馆内拥有一大批莎草科植物，尤其是全球温带和北极地区的荻属植物，这些植物作为DNA序列数据的凭证。数据库目前包含了约2万条来自麦吉尔大学植物标本馆的数字化记录。
