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）的种子库设施。该中心于2005年正式启用，作为国际千年种子库项目（Millennium Seed Bank Project）的组成部分之一。该种子库以塔斯马尼亚本土植物区系为收藏核心，尤其侧重塔斯马尼亚的珍稀与濒危植物；此外还收藏有少量外来杂草与园艺外来物种。目前该种子库仅配备1名全职工作人员，另有若干志愿者协助开展种子藏品的处理与典藏管理工作。该种子库的采集优先级设定，由塔斯马尼亚州初级产业、公园、水务与环境部下属生物多样性与保护分支的工作人员提供指导与协助。藏品核验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。
