Workshop to Plan the Flora of the Philippines Project, Honolulu, Hawaii, January 13-15, 1988

本提案请求资金，允许伯尼斯·p·毕晓普博物馆植物部主席西摩·h·索默博士与菲律宾共和国国家博物馆植物部助理主任多明戈·a·马杜利德博士举办一次讲习班，以规划“菲律宾植物”项目。四名对热带植物植物学感兴趣的美国专家、三名重要的菲律宾植物学家和荷兰莱顿Rijksherbarium植物群落项目的一名工作人员将参加为期三天的研讨会。菲律宾群岛是一个植物多样性非常丰富的地区，据信目前存在约8000至10000种植物，其中约1000种可能是该群岛所特有的。在今天的菲律宾，人们对那里存在的开花植物的数量知之甚少，没有关于它们的统一的植物区系记录，因此，没有对濒危物种进行分类。举办讲习班的目的是规划对菲律宾植物区系进行全面调查所必需的研究。

This proposal requests funds to permit Dr. Seymour H. Sohmer, Chairman, Department of Botany, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, to conduct with Dr. Domingo A. Madulid, Assistant Chief, Botany Division, National Museum, Republic of the Philippines, a workshop for planning the "Flora of the Philippines" project. Four U.S. experts who have an interest in tropical floristic botany, three key Philippine botanists, and a member of the Flora Malesiana project staff, Rijksherbarium, Leiden, the Netherlands, will be participants in the three-day workshop. The Philippine archipelago is a region of great plant diversity with some 8,000 to 10,000 species believed to exist at present, some 1,000 of which may be unique to the archipelago. In the Philippines today there is little knowledge of the number of flowering plants that exist there, no unified floristic account of them is available, and, therefore, no cataloging of endangered species has been made. The workshop will be held for the purpose of planning the research necessary to produce a comprehensive survey of the Philippine flora.
