Description
Summary:The 'Poaceae of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium' collection aims to contribute to the discovery, description and analysis of this cosmopolitan family of monocots, with special focus on Australian Poaceae through collection, exchange, curation and study of high quality herbarium specimens and associated activities and collections based at the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium and with collaborators. A particular local effort has been on Poaceae of Australia. The N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium holds 5,436 specimens of Poaceae, of which 5,182 were collected in Australia. The collection includes 885 species of Poaceae, and 210 genera. Specimens have been collected from all Australian states and territories. Specimens from outside Australia have been collected in Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Cameroon, China, Denmark, Fiji, Ghana, Gold Coast, Greenland, Morocco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Africa, and the United States of America. The specimen sheet collection of the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium is databased and available to registered users for online data entry and data query. Records include most standard herbarium label fields (see http://www.une.edu.au/herbarium/collecting.php) as used across Australia (e.g. http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/herbarium/collecting/field-note-book.html) including name, collector(s), locality and habitat.
