Facilities Support for the Plant Resources Center, University of Texas at Austin

德克萨斯大学植物资源中心(PRC)包括德克萨斯大学植物标本馆和C.L.伦德尔的大部分标本馆。植物资源中心也是一系列研究项目的所在地，这些项目涉及生产植物群和对广泛的植物群进行专题处理。在过去的15年里，植物资源中心的标本数量从30万份增加到95万份。此外，中国与德克萨斯大学植物学系合作，开展了一项广泛的植物系统学家培训计划。在接下来的三年里，中国将收到伦德尔收藏的剩余标本，约65,000件标本，包括重要的类型材料。除了伦德尔标本本身，中国还将在接下来的几年里收到超过75,000份伦德尔标本馆的标本作为交换(这些标本现在将送到中国)。由于新材料的涌入，中国已要求增加植物标本馆人员、存放新材料的箱子以及保存记录的计算机设备，并启动目前存放在中国的类型材料登记册。与此同时，Lundell材料正被纳入中国，仍存放在生物实验室的较低层次的植物和草将被转移到主楼，从而自1975年以来首次加入整个收藏。德克萨斯大学已经向中国承诺增加5000平方米的面积。英国《金融时报》新材料的空间。中国的统一和对Lundell材料的收购将使德克萨斯-Lundell植物标本馆的标本数量跻身全国十大植物标本馆之列，并确保中国和德克萨斯大学植物系继续成为进化和系统生物学的领先研究和教学机构。

The Plant Resources Center (PRC) of the University of Texas includes the University of Texas Herbarium and most of the herbarium of C.L. Lundell. The Plant Resources Center is also the site of a number of research programs that involve the production of floras and monographic treatments of a wide range of plant groups. Over the last 15 years, the number of specimens in the Plant Resources Center has increased from 300,000 to 950,000. Moreover, the PRC, in conjunction with the Botany Department of the University of Texas carries out an extensive program for the training of plant systematists. During the next three years, the PRC will receive the remainder of the Lundell collection, about 65,000 specimens, including important type material. In addition to the Lundell material itself, the PRC will receive, during the next several years, over 75,000 specimens owed the Lundell Herbarium in exchange (these will now come to the PRC). Because of the influx of new material, the PRC has requested additional herbarium personnel, cases to house new material, and computer equipment for keeping records and for the initiation of a register of type material now housed in the PRC. At the same time the Lundell material is being incorporated into the PRC, the lower plants and grasses, still housed in the Biological Laboratories will be moved to the Main Building, thereby joining the entire collection for the first time since 1975. The University of Texas has promised the PRC an additional 5,000 sq. ft. of space for the new material. The unification of the PRC and the acquisition of the Lundell material will place the combined Texas-Lundell Herbarium in the top ten herbaria in the country in terms of specimens, and assure that the PRC and the Department of Botany of The University of Texas continue to be a leading research and teaching institution of evolutionary and systematic biology.
